I wonder how they managed to tell trains to stop.
Signalling still works, so you can let the trains continue to a safe place like a station and then not let them leave until the radio issue is resolved

#16If this weren’t Deutsche Bahn, I’d say it’s a cyber attack. Given that this is Deutsche Bahn, though, it may just as well be a maintenance issue.
You mean neglect?

Same thing happened in Poland and it was confirmed that Russians did it.

#18There was also a very peculiar train crash in the UK just a few days ago. A train hit a stationary train. That shouldn't really happen in this day and age. Sabotage was the first thing that came to my mind.

For DB, this type of outage is referred to as "Tuesday".

Maybe. OP isn't saying it's necessarily malicious interference though.
