Winter Blasts Lead to Delays and Cancellations on Southern German Railways

As the harsh winter weather sets in, travelers in southern Germany should brace themselves for delays and cancellations on their rail journeys. That's according to Deutsche Bahn, which issued a warning on Monday morning.

The disruptions primarily affect the Gäubahn line between Stuttgart and Singen, where individual long-distance trains have resumed service. However, Deutsche Bahn anticipates that the initial service will be limited due to the weather conditions.

Access to Munich's main station is intensely restricted at the moment, prompting Deutsche Bahn to warn of extremely high capacity utilization on the trains. Consequently, they recommend delaying trips to and from Munich.

Now, let's delve into some winter-related rail disruptions happening across Germany and Europe that you might want to take note of:

  1. Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER): Overnight snowfall on February 13, 2025, resulted in substantial runway disruptions, causing a lot of inconvenience.
  2. Hamburg Airport: Better hold on to that airfare, as a strike by the trade union ver.di is scheduled for Thursday, potentially impacting air traffic.
  3. ICE International 125 to Frankfurt (M) Hbf: Traveling to Frankfurt? Prepare for a 38-minute delay, as this train partially cancelled on February 19, 2025.
  4. Eurostar Cancellations: Eurostar's schedule has seen adjustments including cancellations for routes to and from London. Their affected dates range from February 9 to March 23, 2025, and March 12 to 21, 2025, for Mondays to Fridays.
  5. Trenord Strike: A strike by Trenord staff from February 5 to 6, 2025, affected regional and suburban trains in Lombardy and neighboring regions, including airport connections.

Although Deutsche Bahn hasn't announced any disruptions or cancellations related to the Gäubahn between Stuttgart and Singen or Munich's main station specifically, you should be aware of potential problems in other parts of the German rail network and airports.
