German Rail System Reports Major Disruptions Due To A Technical Fault
2024-09-08
[ABCnews] Germany's national rail company reported "massive" disruptions over parts of the country on Saturday, blaming a "technical disturbance" that was forcing many trains to wait at stations until the problem is cleared up.

An announcement on the Deutsche Bahn website said that "we are working on a fix at high speed."

Long-distance and local trains were completely halted in the area around Frankfurt in the southwest, Germany's ARD public television reported, saying that the fault was with a satellite radio communications system.
ARD reports that this was specifically a malfunction in the GSM-R system, which was the target of a sabotage attack in 2022. The cause is still unclear.
