Edit: typo in the title; it is a Megathread
Edit 11.12.23: strike is over, everything should be back to normal. GDL has said there would not be one for the rest of the year.
So, this is a general threat for the current GDL – DB tarif negotiation phase. Here, we can assemble Information on upcomming strikes and collect info on scedules, goodwill rules and compensation, ask and answer questions, etc.
Since the tarif round is ongoing and no agreement in sight, i though we might make a general one, not specified to a specific strike event.
As of 6 PM german time today, 6th of december, Spiegel has reportet a new strike has been announced. DB has confirmed the strike on their Twitter account.
The strike will start tomorrow, thursday the 7th of december, at 6 PM for freight transport, 10 pm for passenger transport, and is to last until 10 pm tomorrow, friday the 8th. Called to strike beside DB are Transdev, AKN, City-Bahn Chemnitz und 8 personel service providers.
Edit: DB has announced their meassures. You can find them here on the official website: [https://int.bahn.de/en/contact/special-goodwill](https://int.bahn.de/en/contact/special-goodwill)
In summary
* Tickets for during the strike are no longer under “Zugbindung”. That means you are not bound to a specific train, or even a specific route, as long as your start and end point remain the same
* if you have a ticket for regional train only (a specific ticket, Deutschlandticket etc. do not apply) and want to switch to a IC or ICE, you have to buy a ticket for them, which you can however demand reimbursement
* Tickets for during the strike can be used tomorrow, or after the strike. For after the stike, no time limit is set. This does not include the “+City” addon, however
* If your booked train gets cancelled, you can alternatively demand a full refund. This is also possible for seat reservations only
If you see important info not yet in the post, feel free to post it below, i will edit it in when i can.
