Railroad - Trains in Bavaria run on schedule despite storms
Rail traffic in Bavaria got off to a normal start over the Christmas weekend despite the severe weather. There were no major disruptions, said a Deutsche Bahn spokesperson on Saturday morning. Regional and long-distance services are running as planned. According to the weather forecast from the German Weather Service, it is set to remain stormy in Bavaria over the weekend, with gale-force winds on the highest peaks in some places.
There will be a high volume of travelers at Munich Central Station in particular. This is "to be expected for Christmas", said the spokesperson. Due to the upcoming holidays, long-distance trains in Bavaria are also running at full capacity.
According to the information, Deutsche Bahn has had 60 additional trains in operation since Thursday and until New Year. They are running on routes that are in high demand, such as the Cologne-Frankfurt-Stuttgart-Munich route. DB also expects demand to be evenly distributed over the week between the years. The train drivers' union GDL has announced a strike break until January 7.

Despite the bad weather causing traffic disruptions elsewhere, the German railroad in Bavaria managed to maintain its schedule over the Christmas weekend. The high volume of travelers during this period led to rail traffic being at full capacity, with Deutsche Bahn operating 60 additional trains on popular routes like the Cologne-Frankfurt-Stuttgart-Munich route. Despite the stormy conditions forecasted by the German Weather Service (DWD), there were no major disruptions reported in Bavaria's railroad services. Traffic, however, might be affected outside of the railroad system due to the adverse weather conditions.
