Express bus SB1 between Siegen and Olpe: back on schedule from July 1st!
The Deutsche Bahn (DB) express bus SB1 is an important connection between Siegen and Olpe and will run again as scheduled from Tuesday, July 1st. Travel time is typically 42 minutes and the reliability of the connection has been proven in the past. However, since September last year there have been noticeable problems with delays due to construction work in Friedrichsthal. This construction work led to the bus being rerouted via Autobahn 45, which meant that the Saßmicke L512, Friedrichsthal, Olpe Schlachthof and Olpe Bruchstraße stops were not served during this time. With the removal of the diversion, service will be restored at the affected stops from July 1st, as the Siegerland newspaper reported.
What is particularly important now? The express bus is not only a quick and convenient connection, but also plays a central role in public transport by offering a cost-effective alternative to other means of transport. In 2025, local public transport in Germany, supported by initiatives from the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV), has steadily gained in importance. Statistics show that the use of public transport has increased in recent years, indicating the growing demand for flexible and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
Information about the DB and traffic
Deutsche Bahn offers current information on rail traffic via its bahn.de platform, including an interactive disruption map that provides an overview of train cancellations and route interruptions. These resources are particularly helpful for travelers who want to plan their routes in advance to avoid any delays. These offers were last updated on May 19, 2025, and the ability to receive push notifications for delays makes planning much easier. The information is about the DB route information available.
In summary, it can be seen that restoring regular service of the SB1 express bus not only benefits commuters in the region, but also represents a step towards improved and more reliable transport provision. The lifting of the diversion is eagerly awaited by many passengers and offers the opportunity to enjoy the journey between Siegen and Olpe in the usual quality again.
