DB justified this decision due to technical problems on the line in Germany linked to the European Train Control System installed by the manufacturer Alstom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travellers wishing to travel to Berlin or Paris on an ICE 3 must therefore change trains in Frankfurt or Mannheim. Launched at the end of 2024, this 8-hour journey was operated in partnership with SNCF and consequently sold via its various distribution channels in France, including its SNCF Connect platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/sncf-end-paris-berlin-night-trains\/\" data-id=\"208577\">SNCF buries Paris-Berlin\/Vienna night trains<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Due to temporary operational constraints on the German rail network, we are currently unable to offer a direct rail connection between Berlin and Paris.<\/em>&nbsp;\", a SNCF official in Paris confirmed to us. DB is not in a position to announce a direct resumption of service at this stage, but Alstom is working to repair the faults in the new European Train Control System (ETCS) fitted to the German railway company's Siemens trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-highlight-box\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-nbsp-nouveau-nbsp-systeme-de-signalisation-ertms-et-l-etcs-embarque-au-coeur-du-probleme\">The \"new\" ERTMS signalling system and on-board ETCS at the heart of the problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Train Control System (ETCS) and the new ERTMS (European Railway Transport Management System) signalling system<em>)<\/em> aiming to improve train safety while making it possible to reduce the distance between two trains to make up for a delay, or to run more high-speed trains on equipped networks. ETCS is thus the on-board control module of the whole system which, thanks to balises in the ground located along the tracks, provides crucial information to the driver (speed, position, stops, etc.). The system can thus trigger emergency braking if the authorised speed is exceeded or a stop signal is passed. Above all, this technology is being deployed across the entire European network to standardise the system for trains that increasingly cross from one country to another. For the past ten years, new trains have been fitted with this technological system directly, while older ones are fitted during their refurbishment.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/trenitalia-paris-london\/\" data-id=\"228161\">Trenitalia will launch on the Paris-London route in 2029<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deutsche Bahn no longer operates a direct service between Paris and Berlin, forcing passengers to change trains in Frankfurt or Mannheim.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":228347,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[39,1217,1431,2103],"type-darticle":[52],"n_magazine":[],"class_list":["post-228343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ferroviaire","tag-paris","tag-berlin","tag-train","tag-deutsche-bahn","type-darticle-breve","vapo-free"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>La ligne Paris-Berlin suspendue<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"La Deutsche Bahn n\u2019assure plus de liaison directe entre Paris et Berlin.
