Train cancellations and diversions: Extensive construction work from September 27th!
The next few days and weeks will bring changes to rail traffic around Nuremberg, as from September 27, 2025 there will be train cancellations due to extensive construction work in Fürth main station. This extensive work not only affects the direct connection between Nuremberg and Erlangen, but also various other stations in the region, such as Bamberg. Deutsche Bahn has already announced that the affected lines S 1, RE 14, RE 19, RE 20 and RE 29 will experience restrictions during the construction period until October 12, 2025. Passengers should therefore be prepared for longer waiting times and possible changes.
Deutsche Bahn has made special arrangements for all commuters and travelers who rely on the train. A replacement bus service will be set up on the route between Nuremberg and Erlangen, but travelers must note that it is not possible to take bicycles on these buses due to space constraints. It is recommended to travel early, especially if there are important dates coming up. Current information about the timetable changes can be found on the Deutsche Bahn website bahn.de currently or in the “DB Navigator” app.
Keep an eye on passenger information and disruptions
In addition to the current construction sites, Deutsche Bahn also has an interactive disruption map that helps travelers find out about current train cancellations and route disruptions. Users can view real-time positions of trains and be automatically notified of delays. The departure boards at the train stations are also accessible via the platform and offer a good point of contact for local information.
If there is any uncertainty about timetable changes or in the event of claims for compensation, travelers can also use the ÖBB website to find out more about the applicable passenger rights. There is also a chatbot there that can help with questions. However, it should be noted that personal data such as the IP address can be processed for collection purposes, as described on the ÖBB website ÖBB free passenger rights bot.
It is therefore important for travelers to find out about the upcoming changes in good time and possibly plan alternative travel options. By using the information provided, they can ensure their travels go as smoothly as possible.
