In Germany, after a nationwide rail blackout, trains are running again

In Germany, train services operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) and other rail companies have resumed after a nationwide halt caused by a malfunction in the digital railway radio system GSM-R. The disruption occurred on Tuesday evening and affected both long-distance and regional trains, as well as suburban S-Bahn services in Berlin and Stuttgart, though Hamburg's Hochbahn continued operating. DB identified the cause of the issue but did not specify it further. The problem impacted passenger and freight traffic across the country. DB CEO Evelyn Pallaová stated that the situation stabilized using an emergency communication system, and the company offered passengers taxi vouchers and hotel accommodations where possible.
