DB in the crisis: Passengers have to change because of signal box emergency!

Darmstadt, Deutschland - The regional association Pro Bahn raises the alarm! At a meeting in Darmstadt on Saturday, the "catastrophic conditions" of the Deutsche Bahn experienced up close: on the main route between Gießen and Friedberg, rail traffic was discontinued due to an unoccupied signal box. The travelers were forced to switch to cars because the rail replacement traffic was long in coming. The situation shows how serious the lack of personnel in the state group, which has been a permanent problem for a long time.

Deutsche Bahn confirmed that despite the planned operational times, the signal box in Gießen could not be filled due to a short -term sick leave. Replacement traffic by bus was launched, but was late. According to Pro Bahn, it is high time that the management is released from its tasks, since the "beautiful talk" about the misery of the railway is no longer acceptable. In the currently prevailing “state emergency”, a call for action to politics is required as soon as possible to remedy the processed situation. The criticism is explicitly aimed at the administration, while the operational employees, such as the train drivers: inside, tirelessly fulfill their service.
