Tariff - Major restrictions in rail traffic due to GDL warning strike
There will also be major restrictions on regional services in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern due to the warning strike announced by the German Train Drivers' Union (GDL). "From 10 p.m. and on Friday, there will only be a few journeys on DB's regional services," a DB spokesperson announced on Thursday. "In some cases, DB will also be using buses to provide passengers with an emergency timetable."
The only exceptions are the Wismar-Rostock-Tessin and Rostock-Rövershagen-Graal-Müritz connections. According to the information provided, trains will run regularly during the warning strike.
The spokesperson pointed out that even before the warning strike in passenger transport began at 10 p.m., journeys had already been canceled. " DB is taking some trains out of service in a controlled manner to ensure that the trains are already where they are needed at the end of the strike."
According to the Deutsche Bahn website, the S-Bahn between Rostock and Warnemünde is also affected by the train cancellations. It had only resumed operations at the beginning of the week following construction work. According to Deutsche Bahn, long-distance services are also severely affected by train cancellations.
According to the company, regional trains operated by Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn (Odeg) in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern may also be disrupted. All Odeg regional trains in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are scheduled to run. However, Odeg uses DB Netz AG infrastructure.

The GDL's warning strike is not only affecting DB's long-distance services but also regional traffic in Germany, especially in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern where heavy restrictions are expected. This comes after the Union of German Locomotive Drivers announced the strike. The GDL's actions are causing significant disruptions, with DB taking some trains out of service before the strike start to ensure their placement at the strike's end.
The spokesperson confirmed that DB will be using buses to provide an emergency timetable in certain areas, with minimal journeys on regional services from 10 p.m. on Thursday and throughout Friday. Notably, the Wismar-Rostock-Tessin and Rostock-Rövershagen-Graal-Müritz connections will maintain regular train services during the strike.
However, it's not just DB's services that are being affected. The warning strike may also disrupt regional trains operated by Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn (Odeg) in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which uses DB Netz AG infrastructure. Passengers should be aware of potential delays or cancellations.
The spokesperson also mentioned that the S-Bahn between Rostock and Warnemünde, which had only recently resumed after construction works, has also been affected due to cancellations. Moreover, long-distance services have also experienced severe disruptions as a result of the GDL's strike.
In the railroad industry, tariffs and strikes cause significant challenges for both passengers and operators, requiring adaptability and flexibility to navigate through such circumstances.
