Diversions in Heidelberg: Lines 5 and 23 affected – Here’s how to cope!
Catenary work in Heidelberg is leading to diversions and replacement services for lines 5 and 23. Affected passengers should note current stop plans.
Diversions in Heidelberg: Lines 5 and 23 affected – Here’s how to cope!
In Heidelberg, overhead line work will be carried out on the nights of July 14th to 15th and July 15th to 16th, which will have a significant impact on the operation of tram lines 5 and 23 of Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH (rnv). As RNZ reports, services will be suspended these nights, which will mean some changes for many commuters and passengers.
A replacement bus service will be set up for line 5 between the Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof and Handschuhsheim Burgstrasse stops. Diversions apply from 10:45 p.m. until closing time. Buses will stop at additional stops such as the depot, Jahnstraße and the technology park, among others. It is important that passengers are aware of the new stops, such as the replacement stop near Hans-Thoma-Platz. At the Burgstraße stop, passengers must also pay attention to the alternative stop on Fritz-Frey-Straße.
Changes for line 23
Line 23 is also affected. Here, in the direction of Bismarckplatz, the Stadtbibliothek, Seegarten and Bismarckplatz stops are omitted for journeys at 12:27 a.m. and 12:57 a.m. from Römerkreis Süd. Here too there are additional stops that are served. In view of these changes, the rnv asks passengers for their understanding and advises them to take note of changed timetables and stops early on.
There is also an important tip for passengers looking for lost items. As rnv reports, all lost property will be taken to the relevant lost property offices in the cities of Heidelberg, Mannheim and Ludwigshafen. A loss on line 5 means that the items will be forwarded to the Heidelberg services or the lost property office in Mannheim. So if you miss something, you should ask there. For further information, the websites of the city's lost and found offices are available. If problems arise when using the offer, for example when accessing items from Dreiländer, we recommend contacting customer service.
In summary, it is important for passengers in Heidelberg to find out about the changes in good time and adjust their routes and times accordingly. The rnv has provided all the information about the diversions and replacement traffic, and as Mannheimer Morgen also reports, the employees are always available to answer any questions or problems.
