Massive train failures: arson ensures chaos between Nuremberg and Bamberg!
Hirschaid, Deutschland - Railway traffic between Munich and Berlin is currently severely impaired. Massive delays and train failures are the result of a fire in a railway underpass that occurred in Markt Hirschaid, between Forchheim and Bamberg. According to the adac , part of the route is closed until Monday, July 14th. Travelers have to adapt to considerable inconvenience. The ICE trains between Nuremberg and Erfurt are particularly affected, which have to be diverted and have to accept delays of around 100 minutes.
The stops Erlangen, Bamberg and Coburg are not approached for these trains. Instead, a stop will be set up in Würzburg Central Station. Individual ICE trains are even completely canceled, which significantly exacerbates the situation for commuters and travelers.
There are also difficulties in intercity traffic: Individual IC trains between Nuremberg and Leipzig (above Jena) and between Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe and Gera fail. A replacement traffic was set up by bus for the route between Forchheim and Bamberg.
fire damage and investigation
The location is not only annoying for travelers, but also a challenge for Deutsche Bahn. According to the Augsburger General, the fire damage of around 25,000 euros has already caused. In the meantime, the criminal police have initiated investigations because there is suspicion of arson. The train speaks of "fire damage to vandalism", which only reinforces the dimension of the problems.
The authorities have announced that the repairs should probably be completed by Sunday, but planning traffic will not be expected before Monday morning. This blocking also affects numerous regional connections and two S-Bahn lines, and despite the replacement traffic, it can be assumed to be high. Fixed buses commute without intermediate stops, which for many affected people means that stopping points in Strullendorf, Hirschaid, Buttenheim and Eggolsheim are not approached.
conclusion and outlook
The rail customers are faced with an uncertain situation. Travelers have the opportunity to use alternative connections via Würzburg, but it remains to be seen how the detours and waiting times will develop in the coming days. rbb24 also reported from similar vandalism cases in different regions.
