North Rhine-Westphalia: Failed S-Bahn trains back in service at the start of the week

Dusseldorf (dpa / lnw) - After illnesses in the workforce at Deutsche Bahn led to restrictions at the weekend, especially in the Rhineland, the S-Bahn lines S8, S11, S12 and S13/S19 will run again on Monday. "Due to a regionally still high level of sickness" - for example among train drivers - there could still be occasional short-term failures, the railway said on Sunday. Travelers are asked to obtain information before starting their journey, for example via the timetable information at www.bahn.de. DB Regio NRW also provides information via Twitter and zuginfo.nrw. about canceled trains.

The S-Bahn lines mentioned had been canceled since Thursday afternoon. Above all, the control center of DB Regio NRW, in which trains are dispatched, controlled and monitored, was reportedly affected by the personnel problems.
