According to Deutsche Bahn, the reason for the train disruptions in northern Germany is sabotage.
“Due to sabotage on cables that are essential for train traffic, Deutsche Bahn had to stop train traffic in the north for almost three hours this morning,” said a spokeswoman for the dpa news agency.
The responsible security authorities investigated.
The problems in northern Germany were due to a disruption in the digital train radio GSM-R (Global System for Mobile Communications - Rail), said a spokeswoman. “It is used for communication between the control centers that control train traffic and the trains and is therefore an indispensable component for smooth train traffic.”
