Rail chaos in Hennigsdorf: Important lines are canceled for weeks!
There are significant changes in regional rail traffic in the Oberhavel region, which seriously affect commuters and travelers on the main lines. How maz online reported, the construction work of DB Netz AG is the reason for the restrictions, which particularly affect the Hennigsdorf area. Travelers between Hennigsdorf and Oranienburg must expect serious changes by April 2026.
The complete failure of the Regionalbahn 20 (RB20) from September 8th to October 24th, 2023 is particularly significant. From Hohen Neuendorf, buses will be sent as replacements to Hennigsdorf and on to Potsdam, while the rest of the RB20 will not run at all during this time. Only the first train in the morning and the last train in the evening run as usual towards Oranienburg.
Replacement traffic and disruptions
The regional express RE2 will also not run to Hennigsdorf from September 5th to October 25th, 2023. Here passengers have no choice but to switch to the S-Bahn, as there is no special replacement service for this line. The cancellation of various other lines poses an additional challenge for commuters: Noisy moz.de Lines RE5, RE6, RE85, RB12 and RB32 are also affected.
It is particularly frustrating for travelers to Berlin as the RE5 between Oranienburg and Berlin Central Station will have nightly cancellations from September 11th to 14th. The RE6 will also not run between Neuruppin West and Berlin-Gesundbrunnen on the night of September 8th to 9th. Replacement buses have been set up between Neuruppin West and Kremmen for this purpose. For the following period, the S-Bahn line S8 will remain interrupted until September 22nd, although buses will also have to replace the missing service here.
Commuters have to adapt
The entire situation makes it difficult for commuters from Oberhavel to find a smooth route to work. maz online emphasizes that travelers need to become more flexible and prepare for longer journey times. The changes clearly indicate the need to obtain information in good time and consider possible alternatives.
Given the multitude of restrictions and the need for commuters to adapt, it remains to be seen how long the construction work will ultimately last and what further impact it will have on regional transport. A good hand in planning is particularly in demand now.
