 train driver strike again with an emergency timetable 
 On the second day of the nationwide train driver's strike, the railway's emergency timetable started again. The travelers obviously adjusted themselves to this, said a railway spokeswoman in Leipzig on Thursday. On the first day of strike on Wednesday there was no overcrowded trains or long queues at the rail information centers. The website and the special hotline of the railway would be used well. 

 updated timetables 
 There, the updated timetables could already be viewed, especially for regional traffic on Friday. According to the speaker, around 20 percent of the trains drove in long -distance transport. In local transport, the train informs about confirmed connections one day in advance. 

 private rail competitors and long-distance transport 
 Hardly any problems reported private rail competitors whose train drivers did not go on strike. In long-distance transport, a few trains rolled on the north-south rail-from Munich via Erfurt and Leipzig to Berlin and Hamburg. According to the spokeswoman, particularly long trains should be used. Dresden and Magdeburg are connected by regional trains via Leipzig. From Dresden there was also an intercity connection to Prague. 






 Significant restrictions in local transport 
 There are considerable restrictions in local transport, said the spokeswoman. Buses would also be used. Those who can move their journey should do that. The planned end of the industrial place is Friday at 6 p.m. On Tuesday evening, the group at the State Labor Court in Frankfurt also failed in a second instance with the attempt to stop the strike. In freight transport, the first train drivers had already laid down the work regardless of the outstanding decision.
