Been trying to get home for the past 2.5 hours on a 15 minute train ride.... I hope Evelyn Palla gets locked in a DB bathroom and starves to death

    Article says this is due to a radio communications malfunction that likely won't be resolved for at least 6-12 hours, and there's also mention of general disruption of the communications (IT disruption) throughout the country. I don't want to jump too hard at a conclusion but if I did it would be a Russian hack or sabotage. I'd sorta hope to be wrong, but I just doubt technical incompetence from the Germans here.

    Added: Reading another article now and yea there's some context I didn't have. Yikes.

    Right in the linked article...

    A technical malfunction in the train radio system is currently bringing all train service in Germany to a standstill.

  • I don't know if you mean "used to" as in years before, but recently every time i saw people talking about Deutsche Bahn it was to say "lol Deutsche Bahn is having a problem again", so it seems to me their reputation is not (anymore) the reputation of a reliable service.

    Oh. Uh, I see. But Germany has a rep for being very detail-focused, and trains are probably the most organized infrastructure out there.

    Too bad.

    Train service is currently suspended throughout Germany. A malfunction in the train radio system is causing major problems.

    Deutsche Bahn has also commented on the problem. It refers to a nationwide IT disruption “affecting internal communication channels.” Further information is to follow.

    Radio interference and IT outages - benign or a cyberattack?

    The outage has apparently been resolved as of an hour ago or so. Trains are starting to roll again, how ever long it'll take to get back to whatever is called "normal" these days.

    Sounds like hackers but they don't want to say hackers.
