The German train drivers’ union GDL (Gewerkschaft deutscher Lokomotivführer) has once again called a nationwide rail strike (goods and passenger transport).

The goods transport strike is to begin at 15:00 CET on 19.05.2015; passenger transport will be affected from 02:00 on 20.05.2015. At present the strike is open-ended in both cases!

As in previous GDL strikes, Contargo trains will not be directly affected by these new strikes. However, delays in our own operations due to obstructions caused by other trains involved in the GDL strike cannot be ruled out.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will make every effort to minimise possible impacts of the strike.
