A technical issue caused widespread train cancellations in central Germany on Saturday afternoon. The Deutsche Bahn reported that after two hours, long-distance and regional trains were starting to run again, but disruptions were still possible until the end of the day.
The Rhein-Main transport association (RMV) described it as a 'nationwide technical issue in radio communication'. The affected area, particularly around Frankfurt, experienced significant delays and cancellations.
Frankfurt is a key transportation hub in Germany for both regional and long-distance travel. The cause of the disruption is currently unknown.
The issue affected the GSM-R radio communication system, and trains had to wait at stations in the affected area until it was resolved. The RMV advised affected passengers to use alternative transportation such as subways, buses, and trams.
The disruption lasted for several hours before services gradually resumed, but the duration of the issue was initially unclear.
