YATESY Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 This is a quite big MAY but a back-up plan you may need. Germany: Train drivers plan 30-hour strike23-Oct-2007 01:19:21 AM (GMT) From media reports: Bloomberg news service reported German train drivers are planning a 30-hour nationwide strike beginning at 2 a.m. local time on Thursday, 25 October. They plan to return to work at 8 a.m. on Friday, 26 October. The Frankfurt-based GDL train drivers' union made their announcement in an email statement today. The union said the strike will affect both local and regional railway traffic. The train drivers have held previous walkouts during the past three months as they continue to demand higher pay. Deutsche Bahn's passenger-service director has urged the union to return to negotiations and appealed to the GDL to wait until after a court hearing to conduct further strikes. The appeals court is set to hold a hearing on 2 November. Two other railway unions, Transnet and the GDBA, settled their pay disputes in July Our travel provider at work has advised that upto last week these strikes were mainly affecting Berlin and the east of country and a court order prevents drivers on long-distance routes joining the strike. But as you can see from the quote above, they are now going nationwide. There might be some expensive taxi fares come the 6th, 7th and 8th of November!!

tkonion Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 ill just follow the crowds but will this affect whatever we ride on from munich to the ground? no Or from the airport into the centre of Munich?
M'crayons Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I was in Paris for the rugby world cup, and the SNCF strike was taking place at the time. They managed to run the entire Metro service there with a skeleton staff almost without disruption, so I'd guess (hope) it'll be the same in Munich.
Guest cibby Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Or from the airport into the centre of Munich? hmm i think this week this train wont be affected either.... but even on a strike day the airport line was always kept alive somehow
