According to the police, the nationwide strike in rail traffic on Monday morning in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania did not lead to a significantly higher volume of traffic on the roads. As police spokesmen said, there was a little more traffic on the roads during rush hour, but few congestion on the most used access roads only in Rostock. But that’s almost always the case on Monday mornings, also because of the construction sites on federal highway 105.
The railway and transport union (EVG) strikes long-distance, regional and S-Bahn traffic in Germany. There were no trains on the main routes between Berlin-Rostock and Berlin-Pasewalk-Stralsund. That is why the Odeg private railway and the Usedomer Bäderbahn left their trains in the depots in the morning. The Odeg runs, among other things, between Rostock and Stralsund, which is otherwise used by many commuters.
“Our primary goal is to offer the full timetable again from Tuesday morning,” said Deutsche Bahn AG. Buses and ferries were initially not affected by the strike in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. With the warning strikes, Verdi and EVG want to increase the pressure in their current collective bargaining rounds.
