Rail chaos in summer: Important routes between Regensburg and Ingolstadt closed!
From July 2025, commuters and travelers on the popular route between Regensburg and Ingolstadt will have to change! The reason for this is extensive construction work that Deutsche Bahn will be carrying out in this area. The planned measures will lead to significant restrictions on rail traffic, which will particularly affect commuters.
Loud Mercury The closure begins on July 3rd and extends until September 2nd, 2025. During this period, trains on the RB 17 line between Regensburg and Neustadt/Donau and between Regensburg and Sinzing will be canceled. This also affects important connections between the two cities, which are used by many daily commuters.
Scheduled closure times
The exact blocking times are as follows:
- 3. Juli bis 31. Juli 2025: Sperre zwischen Neustadt und Regensburg Hbf.
- 31. Juli bis 2. September 2025: Sperre zwischen Sinzing und Regensburg Hbf.
- 29. August bis 1. September 2025: erneute Sperre zwischen Neustadt und Regensburg Hbf.
The additional closures that will also come into force during the construction period include:
- 7. Juli, 21 Uhr bis 1. August 2025, 5 Uhr: Regensburg – Ingolstadt.
- 8. August, 21 Uhr bis 14. August 2025, 5 Uhr: Regensburg – Neustadt.
- 8. August, 21 Uhr bis 29. August 2025, 5 Uhr: Regensburg – Ingolstadt.
Replacement traffic and diversions
To mitigate the impact of the closures, replacement buses will be used. However, these buses will not reach all stops. For example, the Regensburg-Prüfening train station will not be served by the replacement buses. In addition, the replacement bus stops at other train stations are often not in the immediate vicinity of the original train stops. Commuters have to be prepared for extended travel times and possibly missed connections, as the buses sometimes run at different times.
As Agilis informs on its website, this replacement timetable will also be accessible online and is intended to help manage the changes in the best possible way. Further information about the ongoing construction work is also available Augsburger Allgemeine available.
Additional construction work in the region
The construction work in this area is only part of a larger project by Deutsche Bahn. Work is currently underway on the route between Munich and Füssen, which will also lead to changes to the timetable Train travel blog reported. The new interactive web app “route.info” will help travelers identify roadworks and potential delays, which will be particularly helpful during these times.
Patience and flexibility are required. Commuters and travelers should adapt to the new circumstances in good time in order to master the challenges of the construction work as best as possible. The future promises improvements in rail transport - even if the path there involves some detours.
