Due to the nationwide warning strike on Monday, Deutsche Bahn will completely stop long-distance traffic.
Neither the ICE nor the IC will use it.
Berlin – Deutsche Bahn will stop all long-distance traffic next Monday due to a large-scale warning strike in the transport sector.
Also in regional traffic “mostly no trains will run”, the group announced on Thursday.
"According to statements by the union, the first effects of striking employees are already possible on Sunday evening," it said.
The warning strike will therefore still affect rail traffic on Tuesday.
Strike: Deutsche Bahn stops long-distance traffic – this applies to booked tickets
