German train drivers' union GDL has called off today’s planned rail strike after agreeing a wage contract yesterday with state-owned rail company Deutsche Bahn.
GDL had called strikes from midnight, in response to a long-running wage dispute with the rail company.
Deutshce Bahn says the deal ensures a "good ending" for both sides involved in the dispute, averting any possible threat of strikes across Germany.
