Train traffic between Rosenheim and Kufstein reopened!
Damage to the overhead line caused quite a stir in train traffic between Rosenheim and Kufstein today. The route was completely closed from early morning, affecting both regional traffic and international connections. Fortunately, the repair work was completed during the morning and the trains are back in service rail.de reported.
In total, the closure lasted several hours, which of course caused unpleasant circumstances for many travelers. During this time, a replacement bus was set up on the Regionalbahn 54 route (Munich - Kufstein) to support the affected passengers. However, it remained unclear whether travelers on trains had to transfer to buses or could simply wait. The Deutsche Bahn spokeswoman said that long-distance connections were also affected by the closure, including the popular ICE trains from Berlin to Innsbruck as well as Nightjets from Amsterdam and Railjets from Munich to Italy, as well tz.de reported.
International connections severely affected
Travelers quickly noticed that the unscheduled disruptions impacted a variety of international hotspots. The affected connections span three countries and therefore represent an important transport axis. From the ICE trains to the Nightjets, passengers could not rely on any certainty, which led to increased stress levels among travelers. Merkur.de highlights that uncertainties regarding the length of time spent on trains or transferring to buses caused additional unrest.
However, there is already a new challenge on the horizon for the future. From July, the route between Regensburg and Ingolstadt will be closed for repairs, which could lead to significant restrictions on train traffic until the autumn. This means that travelers still need to rely on a reliable connection and plan carefully.
