The cable car in Augustusburg near Chemnitz, which was damaged during a thunderstorm over the weekend, is running again. According to a statement from the Central Saxony Transport Association, the “Alte Lady” team was able to fix the cause of the outage. According to the statement, a lightning strike damaged the contents of a distribution box. The cable car had only resumed service in March following a winter hiatus lasting several weeks and a comprehensive inspection.
The defective components were replaced, and a thorough safety inspection was conducted. The cars are now running as usual again, the statement continued. Service had been suspended since Monday morning but resumed this morning.
