The strike on the railways in Germany, initiated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) freight train drivers on Tuesday, continues. Colleagues from passenger transport joined them at night.

The protest, used by the German train drivers’ union (Gewerkschaft Deutscher Lokomotivführer, or GDL) to fight for higher wages and shorter working hours, is expected to last until Friday evening. The disruption associated with the strike will affect not only traffic across Germany but also result in the cancellation of some services from the Czech Republic, Austria, and other European countries. Deutsche Bahn has issued an emergency timetable that provides for the cancellation of approximately eighty percent of normal long-distance services.
