Morning!

 

I read about the DB and the train union’s negotiations breaking down last week (22nd/23rd June) and there now being a ballot to strike.

If it goes ahead I believe the strike would happen over the summer. 

Does anyone have experience with how long the timings of these things take. ie it’s been said that it takes around 4-5 weeks to get the result of the vote and then from there, if they do vote to strike, how much notice do they usually give before they go on strike?

 

We’re be travelling through/in Germany on 24th July, 28th July and 1st August.

OBB night jet Brussels to Vienna 24th July

Vienna to Diessen 28th July

Diessen to Dijon 1st Aug

 

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Nach meiner Erfahrung ca.24-48h eher.

Da Du aber mit der ÖBB fahren möchtest,vermute ich, das Du davon eher wenig bis gar nicht betroffen sein wirst.

Ansonsten stellt die DB oftmals auch einen verlässlichen Notfallfahrplan bereit.Dieser klappt in der Regel besser,als der eigentliche Fahrplan.

That depends on who is on strike. When the signalmen are also on strike, the Nightjets are also affected.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
