Track closed: Train passengers between Hamburg and Bremen wait a long time!
Track closure between Hamburg and Bremen in the Harburg district: Travelers must expect delays and diversions.
Track closed: Train passengers between Hamburg and Bremen wait a long time!
In the region between Hamburg and Bremen, travelers have had to prepare for significant train delays since Tuesday afternoon. How mopo.de reported, an important track between Buchholz in der Nordheide and Hamburg-Harburg has been closed since 1:45 p.m. due to damage. The exact cause of this damage is still unclear, but it is already causing real traffic chaos.
The railway operator Metronom stated in its current announcement that the closure could last for several days. Travelers should expect longer journey times as the single track in the affected section disrupts the flow of train traffic. Particular attention is also being paid to Deutsche Bahn's long-distance traffic, which must be rerouted via alternative routes via Jesteburg and Maschen. These diversions lead to delays of up to ten minutes, even if the diversion route is normally used for freight trains.
Support for travelers
The DB LiveMaps application is also very useful for anyone who regularly travels by train. This application shows train movements and current delays in real time on an interactive map of Germany. Real-time tracking and the ability to set acoustic push notifications for specific trains make it easier for travelers to stay informed about the current situation on the route. You can find more information about this application on the website DB Infrago.
Deutsche Bahn has announced that it will carry out the repair work as quickly as possible. However, an exact time frame for the restoration of regular operations is still pending and is currently uncertain. Passengers will continue to have to prepare for disruptions until Friday afternoon.
We advise all travelers to allow extra time and regularly check the latest information to avoid unpleasant surprises. If you have any questions about the route or individual timetables, you should not hesitate to consult the digital information systems.
