Rail Disruptions Across Germany Due to Technical Failures and Accidents

Multiple incidents, including a signal failure in Berlin and a derailment in Saarland, have caused significant delays and rerouting in the rail network.

• A signal failure in Rummelsburg, Berlin, has disrupted both long-distance and regional train services, with delays up to 20 minutes and rerouting of certain ICE and EC lines.
• In Saarland, a regional train carrying nearly 200 passengers derailed after hitting a large rock; fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
• Repairs are underway for the Berlin signal failure, expected to last until at least the evening, affecting major stations like Berlin-Südkreuz and Gesundbrunnen.
• In Saxony, cable thefts have caused disruptions between Zittau and Görlitz, though some lines are resuming normal operations while others continue with bus replacements.
• Ongoing construction in Franken is causing further delays and rerouting of both regional and long-distance trains, with some services expected to resume soon.
