Deutsche Bahn (DB) is returning to its regular schedule after a five-day strike on passenger rail that wreaked havoc on travel across the country. Regional, long-distance trains and the S-Bahn were up and running again early on Tuesday after union members downed their tools last week. Freight trains were affected from last Wednesday evening, and passenger trains were hit early Thursday morning. A DB spokeswoman said there could still be some disruption on the train network as it gets back to normal operations. That was in May 2015 – and it was not until two months later that a collective agreement was reached.
