Berlin Due to storm damage, rail travelers must continue to expect train cancellations and delays. There is currently still damage on more than 1000 kilometers of track, the railway said on Sunday morning. There will be severe impairments until at least Monday afternoon.
Around 2,000 emergency services are on duty around the clock to remove fallen trees and repair overhead lines. The train service should be increased step by step, the railway announced.
In long-distance traffic, there were still significant problems, especially in northern Germany on Sunday. According to the railways, regional traffic could be resumed on most of the affected routes. There are also long-distance ICE trains between Berlin and Hanover to North Rhine-Westphalia. There are also individual trains on the Munich, Hanover, Bremen and Hamburg routes. According to Deutsche Bahn, the Berlin – Leipzig/Halle (Saale) route has been free again since Saturday evening.
