On Sunday 19.04.2015, the union of German train drivers (Gewerkschaft Deutscher Lokomotivführer, GDL) declared that the current round of wage talks has broken down, and announced new strikes for this week. No details have yet been given of the time and duration of the strikes, or the regions involved.

As was the case with previous GDL strikes, Contargo trains will not be directly affected. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that hindrances to our own operations, in the form of delays, may occur due to other trains which are involved in the GDL strike.

We ask for your understanding, and will make every effort to minimise any possible effects of the strike.
