  • Rail traffic was further affected in eastern Switzerland on Sunday morning due to the onset of winter.
  • Two routes on the Rhaetian Railway were still interrupted.
  • The snow is likely to stay for the moment: Low temperatures of -21.1 degrees were recorded early in the morning.

Traffic at Rorschach SG station was restricted due to a contact line fault and trains no longer ran between Kreuzlingen TG and Konstanz. According to SBB, the St. Margrethen SG-Munich route was also restricted. According to Deutsche Bahn, the disruptions to rail traffic in southern Germany will last until at least Monday.
