Train services in Germany began resuming on Wednesday morning after a technical glitch caused a widespread standstill across the rail network. According to the state-run operator Deutsche Bahn, the disruption was triggered by a breakdown in the railway radio communication system, which effectively paralysed operations nationwide. Reports from The Local indicate that efforts to restore normal services are currently underway following the system failure. Passengers have been advised to check for updates as the network gradually recovers from the impact of the outage.
