Despite the extreme weather, there have so far been no significant restrictions on the railway lines. A spokesman for Deutsche Bahn said on Thursday morning.
The company Go-Ahead Bayern, on the other hand, reported some damaged trains in the morning as a result of the freezing rain on Wednesday. Therefore, the train service is reduced.
