Happened before at a smaller scale, crazy high redundancies in GSM-R mean this is likely sabotage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2022_German_railway_at... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM-R
There 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. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gy60gg6k5o
Maybe. OP isn't saying it's necessarily malicious interference though.
If 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.
Any HNer blocked in a DB train who can share with us the experience?

Downdetector shows parallel disruption spikes, similar pattern as end of last year, not as widespread yet. https://downdetector.com
I wonder how they managed to tell trains to stop.
