Rail delays after continued DSB strike

With maintenance staff continuing to strike continuing on Thursday, DSB has published a rough emergency schedule

UPDATE: 11:00pm: It appears that the DSB service reductions that go into effect tomorrow could be short lived.

According to a union spokesperson, striking maintenance personnel could resume work as early as tomorrow.

Original story

A continued strike by train operator DSBÂ’s maintenance staff will affect commuters in Copenhagen for the remainder of the week DSB announced in a press release.

”Maintenance crews at DSBÂ’s workshops have stopped working and that unfortunately means that from Thursday morning there will be fewer and shorter S-trains than normal. Please make sure you leave in good time,” the …

DSB will cancel half of all its trains on Thursday morning, including Copenhagen’s S-trains, as well as commuter and regional trains.

The maintenance workers are striking after DSB refused to negotiate over working conditions and pensions.

DSB said it will publish a more detailed plan tonight on how the strikes will affect commuters, but has published a rough overview of what to expect:
