As usual, Deutsche Bahn (DB) is also experiencing a high volume of travellers. However, passengers need not fear strikes following the agreement reached in the wage dispute between the German Train Drivers' Union (GDL) and DB. However, trains will be very busy, especially on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday, according to a DB spokesperson. Rail travellers should therefore inform themselves about their journey in good time and reserve a seat. The connections between the major cities are among the most heavily booked train routes, including the Berlin and Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main and Berlin connections. "If you can travel flexibly, you should avoid the peak travel times and look for connections in the early morning and late evening."
