After the strike by the train drivers' union GDL, Deutsche Bahn trains in Berlin and Brandenburg are largely running according to the normal timetable again, according to the company.
“The normal timetable has started so far,” said a railway spokeswoman on Monday morning.
However, travelers are still advised to find out about the desired connection online before starting their journey.
Berlin - “We started the day without restrictions on Monday when operations began,” said the Berlin S-Bahn.
On Sunday she set a target of at least 20 minutes on all lines.
According to the timetable information on the railway's website, the Ringbahn ran every five minutes in the morning.
According to the information media, the S-Bahn trains in the inner city area on the Berlin light rail were also running at the usual close frequency.
In addition to Deutsche Bahn, Odeg also operates several regional connections in Berlin and Brandenburg.
The company has not been on strike in the past few days, so there was no change from an emergency timetable to the normal timetable on Monday morning.
According to information media, the RE1 connection was offered three times an hour between Frankfurt (Oder) and Berlin Central Station in the morning as usual.
The strike by the German Locomotive Drivers' Union (GDL) at the railway ended early on Monday morning.
The GDL had originally called for industrial action until Monday evening.
On Saturday night, the union and the railway agreed on new negotiations on collective agreements and, within this framework, on an early termination of the strike.
Both sides have now stated the goal of reaching a collective agreement by the beginning of March.
The GDL does not want to strike again until March 3rd.
