Rail strike: Full offer only available again on Saturday.. As of: March 8, 2024, 8:07 a.m By: Marcel Reich, Amy Walker CommentsPressSplit The rail strike is keeping Germany in suspense.

Full operations are not expected to resume until Saturday. The train drivers' union GDL has paralyzed Deutsche Bahn's long-distance and regional services since the early hours of Thursday morning. Only around 20 percent of long- distance trains have been in operation since then, while the impact on regional traffic varies.
