Well....yeah, the union has strongly suggested in the week or two prior to Christmas....strike action is possible.
Reacting? Curiously, the management folks have said they will increase the size of the ICE trains (the long distance type)....from what is typically 450-passenger/200 meter long trains.....to 900-passenger/376 meter long trains (example of the Hamburg to Munich train).
The problem here....the more that strikes are committed on railway lines....selling the general public on dumping in-country flights goes deeper into a 'hole'.
For the public that has enthusiasm for railway 'adventures'....the strikes present a patience problem, where you have to crank up a plan 'B' out of thin air.
Trying to imagine a 376 meter long train? 1,233 ft long.
