Rail Strike Dates, Duration?

Posted by (Salt Lake City) on

Has there been any indication of dates for the possible Rail Strike?

Our plans by rail:

28 Nov Frankfurt Airport to Aschaffenburg
30 Nov Aschaffenburg to Freiburg im Breisgau
2 Dec Freiburg to Basel

Can I assume that we can catch a taxi from the Frankfurt Airport to Aschaffenburg?

Can I assume that we can catch a taxi from Freiburg to Basel?

The last time that we got caught in a strike, it started at ~2 pm (14:00 Uhr) and lasted ~ 24 hours. We made early connections to reach our destination. Any indication if format will be the similar: short lightening strikes?

Yes, but that won't probably be not necessary since there are several connections operated by non-DB carriers, e.g. a train dep 10:46 operated by HLB (Hessische Landesbahn)

Can I assume that we can catch a taxi from Freiburg to Basel?

Yes

For the Frankfurt - Freiburg leg I'd book a Flixbus, either at 7:10 or 8:15 or 11:45

Thanks SLA019, I have ridden the HLB train before. I am glad it will still be operating.

I have bought a Flixbus ticket. It is good insurance.

You shall be aware that the GDL strike affects not only Deutsche Bahn, but maybe also other railroad companies whose employees are represented by the GDL.

The strikes are not decided by GDL members yet. That would be the next public step before strike dates and formats are published.
