Rail traffic in Lower Saxony is gradually starting up again. But Deutsche Bahn expects delays and train cancellations until Sunday, according to the company’s website. Most of the routes can be used again, but often there is no scheduled operation.
On the routes of the railway companies Metronom, Enno and Erixx, the clearing of snow and ice is progressing – but only very slowly, it said in a message. Especially the south of Lower Saxony was identified as a problem area.
