Storm deep is massive in Northern Germany!

storm damage is currently significantly affecting rail traffic in northern Germany. The ICE route between Hamburg and Berlin in particular is blocked due to a fallen tree. This tree is located in the track area at Dergenthin, which leads to massive impairments in the connections between Ludwigslust and Wittenberge. ICE trains are currently held back on this route. Travelers must also expect a travel time extension of up to 90 minutes.

The weather-related disorders are also noticeable in Schleswig-Holstein. The RE6, which runs from Hamburg-Altona to Westerland (Sylt), is expected to be operated at 6 a.m. at 6 a.m. This train sometimes begins or ends in Elmshorn. With the RE7 line, which leads from Flensburg/Kiel Hbf to Hamburg Hbf, the stop in Hamburg Dammtor and the trains are diverted. The connection from Kiel Hbf to Hamburg Hbf also has its final station in Pinneberg. In addition, the RE8/RE80 route only runs between Lübeck Hbf and Bad Oldesloe, where a bus replacement traffic was set up. The RB81 from Hamburg Hbf to Bargteheide also only runs between Ahrensburg and Hamburg Hbf, here too a bus replacement traffic is organized.

extensive disorders in regional traffic

The effects of the stormy weather conditions are not only limited to northern Germany. In North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony, too, there are impairments in local and regional traffic. Deutsche Bahn lists numerous cases of fallen trees that are often in the track and lead to delays as well as partial and complete failures. In long -distance transport, diversions and delays can be observed, especially between Cologne and Aachen as well as Cologne and Düsseldorf. The German Weather Service (DWD) had already predicted stormy gusts and gusts of wind for Monday, which further explains the current disorders.
