The rail strike will paralyze Hamburg's S-Bahn traffic from Wednesday.
Regional and long-distance trains are also affected.
Which regional trains are canceled:
Hamburg – The German Locomotive Drivers Union (GDL) is once again causing a standstill on the rails.
With an announced warning strike lasting several days, employees in freight transport will stop work from next Wednesday at 6 p.m. and in passenger transport the following night at 2 a.m., as GDL chairman Claus Weselsky announced in a press conference.
The strike primarily affects the Hamburg area and leads to significant restrictions in S-Bahn traffic in the Hanseatic city as well as in regional traffic to Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
Commuters and travelers in and around Hamburg will therefore experience the following cancellations and adjustments in regional transport:
