Chaos on the rails: Train travelers around Weilheim have to wait!
Travelers who wanted to go to the southwest of Munich at the weekend had to be prepared for massive delays. Train connections in the direction of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Weilheim and Kochel have been affected since Sunday afternoon. The railway informs that a technical problem at the signal box is the cause of the traffic delays, which occurred due to cables being accidentally cut during construction work.
Railway employees are currently working hard to fix the problem. Not only the trains towards Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Allgäu are affected, but also the connections to Augsburg. This particularly affects the regional trains RB 65 and RB 66, which travel to Kochel. Passengers should be prepared to allow more time for their journeys.
