[BREAKING] [GPW 2015] German train drivers' union calls 5-day strike starting Tuesday
This is just a quick PSA to bring it to anyone's attention who needs to know and doesn't already yet: The association of german train drivers has announced a general strike of person transportation from tuesday to sunday (5.5. - 10.5.). No further details have been announced by Die Bahn yet, but this might call the German Perl Workshop this year in jeopardy. Organizers have been sent messages, but have not replied yet.
Edit: The GPW organizers have posted an update.
The other option, bus, is by far cheaper (e.g. 7 Euro from Berlin, 22 from Munich) and faster, so it's not that dramatic.
