Train service across Germany resumed early on Wednesday after a nationwide disruption of the digital railway radio system was fixed, operator Deutsche Bahn said in a statement.
“Our IT experts have been working non-stop to resolve the issue – and have succeeded,” a spokesperson for the company said, adding services were now gradually resuming.
Earlier, Deutsche Bahn had stopped all trains, citing an outage affecting the Global System for Mobile Communications for Railways, GSM-R, the main communication tool between train drivers and traffic control centers.
Deutsche Bahn said services might still be limited and it would issue taxi and hotel vouchers to passengers and offer replacement transport where possible.
“DB apologizes to passengers for the situation,” it said.
Deutsche Bahn did not disclose the cause of the incident.
