If German train drivers actually go on strike from Wednesday, connections between Germany and Austria could be affected; the ÖBB advises travelers to postpone unnecessary train journeys. Westbahn trains run as scheduled.
Detailed information about the strike and the affected connections to and from Austria will be continuously updated online, ÖBB announced on Monday. “Passengers are asked to postpone unnecessary train journeys to and from Germany,” he said. The rail connection to ÖBB-Sparschiene and standard tickets to and from Germany will be suspended; night train tickets can also be used during the day. Tickets purchased before January 8th are valid for longer, namely until January 19th.

The Westbahn now runs as scheduled to and from Rosenheim and Munich, the company announced on Monday. Furthermore, a solution is being worked out with ÖBB to allow affected passengers to travel between Salzburg and Munich on Westbahn trains, it said in a statement.
