Railway closure in the Havelland: How to come to Wustermark from August!

The coming months are all about the track renovation on the important route between Berlin and Hamburg. From August 1, 2025 and until April 30, 2026, the railway line will be blocked for extensive renovation work. In order to accommodate the affected traveler, a rail replacement traffic (SEV) is set up, which links different regions. This reports the MAZ . .

The travelers have to adjust to longer travel times, since the SEV bus lines could replace the trains and some bypasses may be necessary. Even if the buses are barrier -free and equipped with WLAN, the taking of bicycles is not permitted and tickets must be purchased in advance because a sale on the bus is not possible.

SEV lines in detail

A total of several SEV lines are set up that start numerous stations:

• SEV line f: Dallgow-Döberitz-Falkensee-Dallgow train station, departure hour on weekends and at rush hour. The travel time is about 20 minutes.
• SEV line R: Falkensee-Seegefeld-Dallgow train station, departures every 30 minutes.
• SEV line X4: Brieselang-Wustermark train station, departures every 30 minutes, without stopover.
• Havelbus line 649: Bahnhof/August Bebel-Straße-Wustermark train station, also every 30 minutes.

extensive track renovation

The current renovation phase is necessary to modernize the infrastructure of the strongly frequented route between Hamburg and Berlin. Deutsche Bahn (DB) has also announced that up to 65 daily ICE compounds between these two metropolises are offered during the renovation work. The travel time could be extended by up to 45 minutes. Over 170 buses will also be used on 26 lines to offer travelers an alternative. This information was found in the Germans Train .

In addition, after the renovation, there will be a new direct connection from Schwerin to Berlin with a 2-hour clock, as well as changes to the regional connections Re8, RE6, S1 and RB73. The aim is to optimize the connections and offer passengers a better service.

Some lines, including the RE6 and RB55, are also affected due to parallel construction work between Neuruppin and Kremmen. Replacement buses are provided to alleviate the interruptions. These measures contribute to the fact that regional transport is largely maintained during the entire renovation work.
