Internationaler Fernverkehr: ICE-Direktverbindung Berlin-Paris derzeit unterbrochen
Technische Probleme beim Zugsicherungssystem sorgen für Einschränkungen bei der Direktverbindung Berlin–Paris. Reisende müssen derzeit in Frankfurt oder Mannheim umsteigen.
A popular long-distance train service between Berlin and Paris is currently suspended due to technical issues, according to Deutsche Bahn. The company blamed the problems on a technical glitch with the European rail signaling system provided by Alstom. Previously, the "Tagesspiegel" reported the disruption. Passengers seeking to travel directly between the two capitals now have to transfer at Frankfurt or Mannheim.
Deutsche Bahn has not specified when the direct connection will resume. Alstom is equipping the trains on this route with technology for the digital train control system ETCS. A spokesperson for the state-owned corporation told the "Tagesspiegel" that Deutsche Bahn is demanding Alstom rectify the errors immediately. The direct Berlin-Paris service began operating in December 2024, and reports indicated that train occupancy had averaged 80 percent.
