Train failures on RE1: Restrictions for travelers in East Brandenburg!

Cottbus, Deutschland - In East Brandenburg, train travelers will soon be uncomfortable for train travelers on the regional railway line Re1. As rbb24 , rail drivers have to expect significant restrictions from Friday from 10 p.m. to July 6 at 11 p.m. The reason for the inconvenience is extensive construction work of the Deutsche Bahn, especially at the new Fangschleuse train station.

The situation around the RE1, which leads from Magdeburg via Potsdam and Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) and Cottbus, has already been tense in recent months because there were regular closures. On the weekends from June 20 to 23 and from June 27th to 30th, all trains in this area are completely canceled - a real annoyance for commuters and casual travelers.

extensive construction work

The construction work on the RE1 is part of a large -scale project that will continue until 2026. This reports Odeg . In addition, some other restrictions between Berlin and Erkner can be expected for the period until December 15, 2024. The RE1 only drives a maximum of twice an hour on the affected sections of the route, which noticeably reduces the train capacity.

To meet the travelers, ODEG sets up a replacement of rails by bus during the closures. These run about twice an hour and are primarily intended to cover the route between Erkner and the catch lock. So -called amplifier trains are also provided on the main road between Frankfurt (Oder) and Erkner, although the space available here is limited with only 400 seats.

foresight and follow

The restrictions are not only limited to the current period: In July, all trains between Erkner and Fürstenwalde are eliminated until July 25th. The railways are asked to regularly find out about the current situation, including on the pages of Odeg and the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association at vbb.de/fahrinfo, where changed driving times or further information are also provided. The whole thing is not an easy meal for travelers and can swirl a lot of travel plan.

With the upcoming construction work and the associated rail replacement traffic, it can be seen again how important the trained maintenance of our transport infrastructure is, while you are again dependent on the patience of the travelers. In this inconsistent time, only the tip remains: be sure to plan early and fall back on the alternative transport options!
