LONG DISTANCE TRAIN TRAVEL HAS BEEN STRAINED IN MANY PARTS OF GERMANY EARLY THIS WEEK.

Long distance commuters travel has been strained in many parts of Germany early this week, due to the train's pilots, or the lokomotive protest by strike. The protest may last for several days, or even weeks, if their demand for pay increase is not fulfilled by the unions, the private companies and the government within the required time period that should not exceed three days. The damages inflicted on the system within the last two days has been estimated in several millions of euros.
