Trains are stationary at stations, and passengers are stranded: Deutsche Bahn service has been suspended nationwide due to a radio communication failure. A Deutsche Bahn spokesperson confirmed this in the evening in response to an inquiry from the dpa news agency.
For the time being, all trains are being held at stations. According to the spokesperson, the GSMR digital rail radio system is experiencing a malfunction. “Our technicians are working around the clock to resolve the issue,” he added. Further information will be provided as soon as possible.
Swiss train service is currently not affected by the disruption, as SBB spokesperson Moritz Weisskopf told the Keystone-SDA news agency upon inquiry. Only one train is currently running with a delay. The SBB is in contact with Deutsche Bahn to further assess the situation.
