The extreme heat has brought tram service in Leipzig to a complete standstill. Due to weather conditions and asphalt damage, regular service is currently not possible, according to the Leipzig Public Transportation Authority (LVB).
All tram lines are affected by the suspension. According to the LVB, the measure will initially remain in effect until midnight. Passengers should check for current service information before traveling.
Saxony is currently experiencing the peak of a heat wave. The German Weather Service (DWD) expects maximum temperatures of up to 41 degrees this weekend and is warning of severe to extreme heat stress through Sunday. High temperatures can put significant strain on roads and rail tracks.
