Train drivers' union GDL threatens wave strikes on the railway. Travelers should definitely get information from the DB timetable or the strike hotline on 0800 66 33 33.
The GDL is calling for a basic five-day week and a wage increase of 420 euros. Deutsche Bahn warns of “massive effects” of the renewed GDL strikes on operations. As with the last strike, DB has announced a basic offer for long-distance, regional and S-Bahn transport. The railway offers flexibility for passengers who have purchased a ticket for a trip during the strike period.
