German rail travelers face heavy delays in the run-up to Christmas. On Monday, workers went on a nationwide four-hour strike, with all long-distance trains canceled. It comes after salary talks broke down last week.
Long-distance rail travel came to a halt across Germany on Monday morning, with regional trains also heavily affected, especially in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and the southwestern cities of Karlsruhe and Mannheim. There were also cancellations in Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania, Hamburg and Lower Saxony.
Services slowly resumed after 9 a.m. but disruptions are set to continue throughout the day, rail operator Deutsche Bahn said.
