Rail services in Norway and Germany faced significant disruptions on Monday as strikes and technical failures halted trains across both countries.
In Norway, a locomotive drivers’ strike entered its 10th day after negotiations between the Norwegian Locomotive Drivers’ Union (NLF) and state-owned rail operator Vy collapsed over the weekend. NLF leader Rolf Ringdal said Vy’s offer of equal pay for equal work would have cut wages for Flytoget employees, while failing to address concerns over working conditions and scheduling. “Vy has not been accommodating enough on where we work, how we work, and when we have time off,” Ringdal said in an email to NTB. Employer representative Spekter confirmed talks took place Sunday but yielded no agreement, with communications director Tonje Sagstuen expressing regret over the strike’s continuation. The walkout, which began on Sept. 18, has already canceled or delayed numerous services, with the Kongsvinger line (R14) seeing 50% of its 21 scheduled departures scrapped on Monday .
In Germany, a signal repair in Königs Wusterhausen disrupted Berlin’s S-Bahn network, forcing partial suspensions on lines S8 and S46. The S8 was halted between Grünau and Wildau, while S46 passengers faced mandatory transfers at Wildau, according to a statement from Berliner S-Bahn .
