Berlin Tram Operations Suspended Indefinitely Due to Severe IceMon 26th Jan, 2026The tram network in Berlin has been brought to a halt after severe ice accumulation on overhead power lines and tracks rendered the system inoperable. According to the city's public transport authority, all tram services remain suspended for an undetermined period as crews work to address the extensive icing caused by persistent freezing rain. As a result, tram operations have been suspended since the early hours of the day, with approximately 40 trams still stranded along various routes. The BVG continues to monitor the situation closely, with ongoing assessments to determine when tram services can safely resume. At present, there is no specific timeline for the full restoration of tram services.
