Ironically, at the start of the weekend, countless train passengers are slowed down on Saturday morning. A disruption paralyzes all long-distance traffic in northern Germany - with sensitive effects on NRW as well.
Berlin/Düsseldorf (dpa/lnw) - According to Deutsche Bahn, a technical fault led to a complete standstill in long-distance traffic in large parts of northern Germany on Saturday morning. North Rhine-Westphalia was also badly affected by the train radio interference.
"There are currently no long-distance travel options from/to Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony in/from Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe, Berlin and NRW," said the railway on the Internet. "The ICE traffic between Berlin, Hanover and NRW has also been discontinued."
The company recommended travelers to get information shortly before planned trips via www.bahn.de/reiseauskunft, via the "DB Navigator" app or by calling 030/2970. The Bahn website said: "As soon as we have new information, we will keep you updated here." Many people may have been caught off guard on the drive into the weekend.
