The announced six-day strike by train drivers will once again severely restrict rail services in Saxony. Deutsche Bahn is preparing for the strike from January 24 to 29 with an emergency timetable. On the other hand, rail competitors who have already reached or are negotiating collective agreements with the train drivers' union GDL are hoping for fewer train cancellations. An overview:
Deutsche Bahn with emergency timetable
Deutsche Bahn will be operating an emergency timetable for long-distance and local services from Wednesday. Passengers should check the internet or the app to find out which connections are possible. As with previous strikes, it is expected that around a fifth of long-distance trains will be running nationwide, said a Deutsche Bahn spokeswoman. Extra-long trains will be used to transport as many passengers as possible. In addition, goodwill arrangements for tickets already purchased will apply again. Train reservations will be canceled. In local transport, attempts will be made to organize additional replacement trips with buses.
