ICE emergency in Neubrandenburg: No long-distance trains until further notice!
Neubrandenburg remains without scheduled ICE trains. Construction work and extended platforms will initially only allow for regional traffic.
ICE emergency in Neubrandenburg: No long-distance trains until further notice!
Neubrandenburg remains cut off from long-distance traffic. The train station in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's third largest city is still waiting in vain for the scheduled ICE trains. Loud NDR There are still no plans by Deutsche Bahn to include the connection between Neustrelitz and Stralsund in the long-distance transport network. This means that the rail locusts, the sleek Intercity Express trains, will continue to make no regular stops in Neubrandenburg.
A railway spokesman made it clear that an ICE stop in the city was unrealistic. This was also shown on Thursday, when the ICE 2910 to the Ostseebad Binz was shown on a display board, but no train actually passed by. This confusion was caused by a manual error, like this Northern Courier reported.
Construction work and train cancellations
The Neubrandenburg train station is currently deserted due to extensive construction work. These began in March 2024 in connection with the RE5 route between Neustrelitz and Demmin. Due to the length of the platform being too short, no ICEs or ICs have been able to stop in the city for a long time. The construction work at the station is now in its final phase, and trains are scheduled to run again for the first time from Tuesday, April 1st, which will hopefully make the residents cheer.
Deutsche Bahn is planning to put three new electronic signal boxes into operation in Neubrandenburg, Altentreptow and Sternfeld. This could help improve the situation. Local commuters and passengers continue to be patient and understand the delays and restrictions in train traffic. The construction work has already been postponed several times, and there are still restrictions on the route towards Stralsund, such as Railway blog post reported.
In order to accommodate passengers, plans are being made to extend the platforms in Neubrandenburg to allow longer regional trains to make a stopover. Although progress is slow, Deutsche Bahn's efforts to revitalize transport links in the region appear to be beginning to bear fruit. However, the ongoing construction work has long since resulted in travelers having to rely on buses while they wait for the trains to return. Let's hope that the coming weeks will finally bring passengers back the train service they have longed for.
