After long-distance traffic was completely stopped on Thursday morning due to storm damage in North Rhine-Westphalia, the first long-distance trains have been rolling again on some routes since noon.
As Deutsche Bahn announced at noon, train traffic will gradually be resumed on the first routes.
However, there are still failures and delays in large parts of Germany.
Düsseldorf - How long the disabilities lasted cannot yet be foreseen.
The clean-up work on the Düsseldorf and Cologne route continues, and the ICE route to Wuppertal is not yet passable, said a spokesman.
The train advised to find out more before starting your journey.
If you want to postpone your trip planned for this Thursday, you can flexibly use long-distance tickets that have already been booked for a week until the end of the disruption.
