Rail chaos in Bavaria: Trains RB 27665 and RB 27662 are canceled today!
Rail traffic once again has its pitfalls: On December 28, 2025, there will be significant changes to regional traffic in Bavaria. Deutsche Bahn is informing about a short-term cancellation without replacement of trains RB 27665 and RB 27662 on the Traunstein – Waging route. The reason for the disruptions is staff absences due to illness, which have forced the railway not to offer these connections. Those affected include travelers who wanted to travel from Traunstein to Waging at 12:28 p.m. and those who wanted to set off from Waging to Traunstein at 12:52 p.m. Here you have to switch to the next available connection, which may involve longer waiting times. This message was updated on December 27, 2025 at 11:13 p.m. and affected passengers are asked to inform themselves in advance about alternative travel options. News.de reports on current developments and emphasizes that if delays are more than 20 minutes, passengers have the right to switch to other routes, even long-distance trains that do not require reservations.
What about the rights of passengers? According to Deutsche Bahn regulations, travelers have comprehensive rights in the event of train cancellations or delays. If you are unable to start your trip due to such a cancellation or have to cancel it, you have the option of having your ticket refunded at the DB Travel Center. In addition, applications can be sent to the Passenger Rights Service Center by telephone or in writing. Bahn.de provides useful information on what passengers should do in such cases and what forms are required.
Important passenger rights
Regulation (EU) 2021/782 stipulates that rail companies are obliged to provide their passengers with transparent information. The key points of passenger rights include the right to information in the event of delays or cancellations, timely communication about connections and the provision of support services for people with disabilities. This information is not only important for travelers, but must also be proactively provided by rail companies. If you have problems here, you can contact the Federal Railway Authority. BMV.de has summarized the essential aspects of passenger rights and offers good orientation.
The train cancellations announced today once again illustrate how important it is to know your own travel rights and, if in doubt, to demand them. This way you can keep a cool head even in stressful situations and find the best alternatives for your trip. With the right information and an open ear for your own concerns, your next train journey will be a more pleasant experience.
