Saarbahn strike ended on Friday morning - S1 continues to run with restrictions

Saarbahn passengers needed patience again on Friday morning - the strike had entered the next round. As the municipal utilities in Saarbrücken announced, the German Locomotive Drivers' Union (GDL) had again called for a strike from 6 a.m. According to the union, the strike ended at 8 a.m.

A spokeswoman for the municipal utilities explained that the strike had no impact on the replacement concept.

The S1 runs between Saargemünd and Riegelsberg Süd until 4:30 p.m.

Extra buses from the rail replacement service will continue to be in use regardless of the strike

Additional trips between Riegelsberg Süd and Lebach are temporarily canceled - depending on the length of the strike.

The union has repeatedly called for strikes in recent weeks. The background is a collective bargaining dispute that has been going on for several months. According to its own information, the Saarbahn transports almost 35 million passengers every year in Saarbrücken and in the regional association and travels across the border to Sarreguemines in France. Your tram trains run both in the city and in the surrounding area.
