The warning strike by the EVG railway union brought train traffic in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia to an "almost complete" standstill on Monday. That said a railway spokeswoman early in the morning in Leipzig. In addition to long-distance traffic, Deutsche Bahn also discontinued regional traffic. According to the timetable information, there were almost no trains on the routes operated by private railways either. Rail replacement bus services were occasionally offered. According to the spokeswoman, all professional groups in the railway group took part in the warning strike.
