The strike in freight transport began at 18:00. In passenger transport, according to union plans, it should start at 2:00 am on Wednesday – and will also affect travelers to and from Germany.
The planned train drivers' strike by the German union GDL was confirmed by the Hessian State Labor Court in the second instance. The strike in freight transport began at 18:00. In passenger transport, according to union plans, it should start at 2:00 am on Wednesday – and will also affect travelers to and from Germany.
The strike does not affect ÖBB traffic via Deutsche Eck, but rather the long-distance connections of Deutsche Bahn (DB) and ÖBB to Munich or even further north. In Austria, trains departing or ending in Germany only travel to the respective border station or are canceled altogether because drivers are changed at the border. However, trains are sometimes routed to Munich via the Brenner route, according to the ÖBB.
According to information from APA, ÖBB and DB customers can use their tickets to change to Salzburg-Munich local transport every hour. Westbahn trains go to Munich because drivers are not changed at the border. (APA)
