  • A nationwide failure of the digital GSM-R railway radio system caused an almost two-hour train stoppage late Tuesday evening.

  • The disruption affected long-distance, regional, S-Bahn, private trains, and freight traffic in Stuttgart, Berlin, and other areas.

  • Trains resumed service gradually around 12:30 a.m., but significant delays and cancellations were expected through the morning rush hour.

  • Deutsche Bahn quickly identified the issue and used an emergency system to stabilize operations, despite passengers experiencing information shortages.
  • There needs to be better monitoring and control of the rail infrastructure operations.
    — Peter Westenberger, CEO of the Association of Private Railways, speaking to dpa
