Overhead wire failure halts trains on North Caucasus Railway amid severe weather
A failure in the overhead contact wire system has disrupted train services on the North Caucasus Railway. The issue occurred between Girey and Otradno-Kubanskaya stations due to severe weather. Multiple trains have faced delays as a result.
The problem struck a key section of the railway, forcing 18 long-distance passenger trains to slow or stop. These services, typically operated by providers like DB Fernverkehr or Flixtrain, were directly affected. Three commuter trains, usually run by DB Regio or private firms such as Transdev, also experienced setbacks.
Railway staff are working to resolve the technical fault and reduce further delays. Train crews have been assisting passengers, offering updates and support during the disruption. The incident highlights how extreme weather can impact critical infrastructure. Repairs are underway, but some train services may continue to face knock-on effects.
The overhead wire failure has caused significant delays for both long-distance and regional trains. Authorities are focusing on restoring normal operations as quickly as possible. Passengers are advised to check for updates before travelling.
