Strike by German train drivers disrupting traffic to Czechia

An ongoing strike by German passenger train drivers has disrupted international traffic including connections with neighbouring Czechia.  On the line between Prague and Berlin, EuroCity trains are due to terminate in Dresden, from where they will return to the Czech capital. The railway connection between Prague and Munich will also be restricted and will be replaced by buses on the section from Domažlice to the Bavarian city of Reims. Trains will not travel on the route between Cheb and Marktredwitz in Bavaria. The protest action started at midnight and is expected to last for 35 hours.
