Storm - Trains will run again from Munich to Austria from Tuesday
Following the massive disruptions caused by the onset of winter in Bavaria, the first long-distance trains from Munich to Austria are due to start running again on Tuesday. Initially, "very few trains" are planned on the routes to Salzburg and Kufstein, a Deutsche Bahn spokeswoman announced on Tuesday. The company also expects improvements to the train connections between the Bavarian capital, Stuttgart and Nuremberg in the course of the day.
The situation is also slowly easing on regional services around Munich. Trains are running again on several of the S-Bahn's outer routes in the surrounding area. So far, however, only one line, the S3, is running on its entire regular route.
In order to make the lines passable again more quickly, Deutsche Bahn has ordered additional snow clearing vehicles to Bavaria from Baden-Württemberg and Hesse, among other places. More than 20 machines are now in use there. Experts were examining whether this number could be increased. However, the persistent winter weather and freezing rain are making the clearing work more difficult. Passengers are still being asked to postpone non-essential journeys until Wednesday.
