With German train drivers on strike, services across the capital Berlin remain disrupted and intermittent, with cancellations and reduced services seen across both local and regional train journeys. Disruption is expected across the country as a result of the train drivers' union's latest salvo in an escalating dispute over working conditions. It is their second walkout in weeks -- in mid-November, train drivers staged a 20-hour strike that led to the cancellation of some 80 percent of long-distance trains nationwide. IMAGES
