  1. **Translation**

    According to Deutsche Bahn, the widespread cancellations of train services in northern Germany are due to sabotage. The responsible security authorities have begun investigations, it said.

    The reason for the train service outages in northern Germany is sabotage, according to Deutsche Bahn. “Due to sabotage on cables that are essential for train traffic, Deutsche Bahn had to stop train traffic in the north for just under three hours this morning,” a spokeswoman told the dpa news agency. The responsible security authorities were investigating.

    Even after rail traffic resumed, there were irregularities and interruptions. Countless travelers had previously been stranded at the stations. Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein were affected, as the Deutsche Bahn wrote on Twitter.

  2. I read about the cancellations this morning and I thought there was probably leaves on the tracks or frost or whatever has DB cancelling trains every fall.

    But no, this just got a lot more interesting.

  3. Very interesting, to say the least.

    Could’ve just been some idiots or cable thieves, but thieves targeting those exact cables that do the most damage seems fairly unlikely.

  4. Sabotage ? I’m suprised. Most of the DB stuff is so old or already broken that I thought sabotage can’t make things worse

  5. Left-wing nutters tend to do that in Germany no? Break the infrastructure that brings working class folk to their destinations….because why not.
