Major rail disruption across Germany as technical fault halts train traffic

A nationwide technical failure has brought rail traffic in Germany to a standstill on Monday evening.

According to Deutsche Bahn, a radio interference has caused a widespread disruption in the communication system, affecting radio masts across the country. All trains, including long-distance and regional services, have been ordered to stop at stations.

Deutsche Bahn said the cause is technical and that efforts are underway to resolve the issue. No timeframe for resumption of services has been given yet.
