Train passengers in the direction of France have to be prepared for train cancellations on Tuesday because of the major strike there. A number of ICE and TGV connections between Frankfurt or Stuttgart and Paris are no longer available, as Deutsche Bahn announced. Other ICE only run between Frankfurt and Saarbrücken. Rail traffic is also coming to a standstill within France, it said.

Passengers should switch to another day of travel if possible, said a railway spokeswoman. Tickets that have already been booked can still be used or canceled up until February 3rd. The seat reservation required for France can be rebooked at the DB travel center.

The ICE between Paris and Stuttgart will also be canceled early on Wednesday morning. In regional traffic, the RB 28 connection between Müllheim and Mulhouse was discontinued on Tuesday.
