Planes, trains and third-party risks - a tale of two IT-related shutdowns
Briefly

The fault affected the railway's closed mobile network (GSM-R) and other critical communication systems. When any emergency calls and other communication between the train and the train conductor do not work, we cannot operate trains.
We have located where the error lies in our own nationwide IT infrastructure and we are now working on a solution to correct the error. We have not yet corrected the root cause, but have taken measures so that the part of the network where the error was located is isolated from the rest of the infrastructure.
