Rail warning strike - National Express expects very full RRX trains
Although the rail company National Express is not directly affected by the GDL's calls for strike action, it is asking travelers to check the information systems such as zuginfo.nrw before setting off. The National Express lines RE 1 (RRX), RE 5 (RRX), RE 6 (RRX), RE 11 (RRX), RE 4 as well as RB 48 and RE 7 are running as scheduled, a spokesperson announced on Thursday. However, due to the strikes at other railroad companies and the associated extensive train cancellations on local and long-distance services, high capacity utilization must be expected. In addition, strikes at other companies could possibly also lead to delays and restrictions at National Express.
The German Train Drivers' Union(GDL) has called on its members to go on another warning strike at Deutsche Bahn. From Thursday evening, 10.00 p.m., until Friday evening, 10.00 p.m., passengers will once again have to prepare for thousands of train cancellations on rail services throughout Germany. All employees in the long-distance and regional transport sectors, among others, have been called to take part in the warning strike. The GDL has also called on employees of NordWestBahn GmbH and Transdev Rhein-Ruhr GmbH to go on warning strike in North Rhine-Westphalia for the same period.
