Train services across Germany come to a complete halt after a nationwide disruption to the digital railway radio system, Deutsche Bahn says. Multiple outlets report that the interruption begins late on Tuesday and leads to trains being stopped across the network. Deutsche Bahn confirms that it pauses services countrywide while the issue is investigated and systems are checked. The operator indicates the disruption relates to the rail communications technology used for train control and operations, including the Global System for Mobile Communications for Railways (GSM-R). As a result, trains are held at stations rather than continuing scheduled runs, and passenger journeys are affected across the country. The reports describe the incident as an IT malfunction affecting the communications network rather than a localized technical fault or a weather-related disruption. Deutsche Bahn states that operations remain suspended as long as the outage continues and that service adjustments follow the nationwide interruption.
