Rail Strike Causes Potential Delays for Regional Train ServicesThu 15th Jan, 2026Passengers relying on regional rail services in certain areas of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern may face disruptions on Thursday morning due to an announced industrial action. The rail workers' union has called for a warning strike involving employees of Regio Infra Nord-Ost (RIN), a private railway network operator. The warning strike is a response to ongoing, unresolved wage negotiations for staff at RIN. However, other regional rail providers have indicated that certain routes might be affected during the period of industrial action. While the full extent of the strike's impact remains uncertain, the situation underscores the ongoing challenges in labor relations within Germany's regional rail sector.
