After the early end of the train drivers' strike, rail travelers in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia can hope for more train connections again on Monday morning.

After the early end of the train drivers' strike, rail travelers in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia can hope for more train connections again on Monday morning. A Deutsche Bahn spokeswoman said on Sunday afternoon that they are working hard to ensure that as many regional trains as possible are running. However, no precise statement could yet be made for the region. Before setting off, travelers and commuters should check the internet or the DB Navigator app for current train connections. There will only be isolated restrictions on long-distance services on Monday. "We will be able to operate most of the services."

City-Bahn Chemnitz, which is also affected by the train drivers' strike, expects its trains to run largely as planned from Monday morning. "We are making every effort to maintain a stable timetable," the company announced on its website. However, there may still be isolated disruptions.

Originally, the train drivers' strike was supposed to last until 6 p.m. on Monday. However, in view of new negotiations, the GDL union has now called on its members to return to work on passenger services as early as 2.00 a.m. on Monday morning.
