No strikes at least not until Setember 30th. Re-negotiations with the other unions will take place, so that a common solution can be achieved.

Not just bahn.de, the whole company is unreliable.

Don't buy stock when it's available.

Today's news article: http://www.tagesschau.de/aktuell/mel...F1_BAB,00.html (in German)

Summary:
Negotiations continue, they hope to achieve a solution till Sept 30; in the meantime there will be no further strikes. The Bahn is ready to make a separate agreement with the locomotive drivers' union. Both sides seem happy with the results of the mediation. Negotiations will now include all three unions.
Result: The matter isn't settled yet but they are on the way. During the whole month of September travellers needn't worry about strikes. Let's hope they'll solve their problems soon.
