Siemens halts transit of ICE trains to German Rail (Deutsche Bahn)
Problematic welding seals in floor plates and side parts of ICE trains being delivered to German Railways (Deutsche Bahn) have allegedly led to Siemens halting deliveries, as per "Bild's" Thursday report. The issue, it seems, stems from faulty welding. This could potentially cause a delay in delivery for several months, with some completed trains needing to be returned to the assembly line for repairs. Siemens reportedly acknowledged the issue to the newspaper, but clarified that already delivered trains should not be affected.
