New express bus line connects Wittenberge and Stendal - faster to the ICE!

Wittenberge, Deutschland - Brandenburg has reason to be happy! A new express bus line was presented, which enables important connections between Wittenberge and Stendal. This was celebrated by Brandenburg's Transport Minister Detlef Tabbert and other representatives of Deutsche Bahn as well as municipal decision -makers. This new line, which operates under the name "T", will run four times a day and offers passengers a direct connection to the ICE trains towards Hamburg and Berlin. So if you want to travel by long-distance traffic, you should remember to acquire a ticket of long-distance traffic for the ICE section. [Nordkurier] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/brandenburg/neue-schnellbusline-ergaenzt- undersert-dienververkehr-3775028) reports on ongoing discussions with Deutsche Bahn to recognize local transport tickets, which depends on the utilization of the trains.

For the commuters and travelers who start or ended in Stendal, there is a practical alternative: the individual trips of the regional express (re4). These ensure that travelers can continue to reach their connection without any problems. From August, the Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB) transport association will observe the use of the buses on site to guarantee good quality.

strengthening rail replacement traffic

Constanze Stehr, the deputy mayor of Wittenberge, is pleased with this new solution, which is considered a significant improvement in rail replacement. District Administrator Ralf Reinhardt also plans to work for the RE6 trains from Perleberg via Pritzwalk and Wittstock to Berlin. In order to optimize the travel experience, a proposal for the use of double tractions for the RE6 trains is discussed. These railcars offer a high space capacity, which could be particularly advantageous at the main travel time, especially in the section between Neuruppin and Berlin-Charlottenburg, where two railcars with double capacity are used.

The bus company Eurovista is already well prepared: All buses and drivers are ready for replacement traffic, and seven operating boards have been set up along the route. That sounds promising! In order to follow the trips, travelers can use the "DB Navigator" app, which records all bus trips live. There is also an agreement with the VBB that the buses drive until the early hours of the morning - this ensures increased flexibility for night owls and early risers.

re6 and its importance for the region

The RE6, also known as Prignitz-Express, connects Wittenberge with the pulsating capital Berlin-Charlottenburg and is on the road every day. It stops at important stations such as Perleberg, Pritzwalk and Wittstock (Dosse), whereby the section between Neuruppin West and Berlin-Charlottenburg is characterized by additional capacities. The equipment with diesel railcars, which offer around 120 seats, should be particularly advantageous for commuting passengers.

However, there are also some challenges ahead: from August 2, 2025, passengers must expect extensive construction work between Neuruppin and Velten/Berlin, which could change the timetable. The Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning has an eye on the mobility of Brandenburg and is committed to sustainable solutions in transport policy - both for urban and rural areas. Mobility is considered crucial for participation in social, cultural and economic life. Brandenburg.de emphasizes that the needs of the different regions must also be taken into account.

The new measures to improve transport connections are therefore an important signal that the focus is on a modern mobility policy, combines adaptability and sustainability. It remains exciting how these developments will affect the mobility of the citizens in Brandenburg.
