Due to heavy snowfall in the southern part of Germany during the night from Friday 1st to Saturday 2nd December, DB Netz classified the impact as an ICM case according to the RNE ICM Handbook.
The southern federal state Bavaria and in particular the area around Munich are significantly affected. Since the evening of 1st December, the Munich – Rosenheim section has been closed. No train traffic has been possible here.
The reason is that on this section near the town of Assling, there is a catenary damage, which is currently still under repair. Single-track operation is running again since 2 pm today.
DB Netz is checking whether further train journeys are possible. Double-track operation is expected to be possible by 6th December.
UPDATE 06-12-2023:
All main lines have been cleared and international traffic is up and running on all lines again. With this improvement and upgrade of capacity, DB Netz has decleared that the international distruption is over.
Some of the shunting yards and service tracks are still down to 50% capacity and DB Netz will continue with the work to clear them up. The forecast of capacity is uncertain at the moment.
We will keep our customers informed about the further proceedings.
