German rail network halts all trains nationwide due to GSM-R communication system failure.

Deutsche Bahn suspended all train services across Germany for approximately two hours on the evening of June 23, 2026, due to a technical fault with the GSM-R digital railway radio system. Technicians resolved the issue and services gradually resumed early on June 24, 2026. The operator apologized to passengers and provided taxi and hotel vouchers.
