Rail replacement: Deutsche Bahn provides information about construction work and buses!

Ludwigslust, Deutschland - The anticipation on the trip to Deutsche Bahn must be put onto, among other things, according to a current notification of the DB (see among other things ndr ) Railway between Berlin and Hamburg closed for extensive construction work. This renovation measure lasts nine months and is accompanied by a comprehensive information campaign.

An info bound is touring from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to Hamburg to inform travelers about the planned rail replacement traffic and the closure. The general renovation is part of a larger project that is carried out in cooperation with the federal government. Here, travelers must be prepared for longer travel times and less comfort, as there are no toilets on most replacement buses. In addition, the buses are not located directly at Hamburg's main station to avoid capacity problems on the ZOB.

planned stations for the information

The info bound will stop at several stations:

• Ludwigslust: Tue, July 8, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., train station Vorplatz
• Hagenow: Wed, July 9, 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., Rathausplatz
• Boizenburg: Wed, July 9, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., train station Vorplatz
• Büchen: Thu, July 10th, 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., train station exit north
• HH-Bergedorf: Thu, July 10th, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., station output north

The construction work is an answer to the high traffic on this important connection, which is used daily by around 470 trains, including 110 long-distance trains and 270 regional trains ( Deutsche Bahn ). This renovation is divided into three construction areas: Hamburg -Büchen, Büchen - derengenthin and Dergenthin - Berlin.

strengthening the infrastructure

As part of the general renovation, over 180 kilometers of tracks and around 200 course are renewed. In addition, six new transfer positions are created to ensure greater stability and flexibility in the operating sequence. The accessibility at the 28 traffic stations concerned is also improved and the quality of stay increases, which includes additional bicycle parking systems and extended platforms at selected train stations.

These measures are part of the extensive S3 renovation program of Deutsche Bahn, which will invest in the rail infrastructure by 2027. A total of up to 53 billion euros flow into the modernization and maintenance of the rail network, with 8 billion euros being targeted for 13 general renovations ( DB Presse ).

These developments are not only a big challenge for travelers, but also a sign of a future -proof and powerful rail infrastructure. It remains to be seen how travelers take the implementation of the measures and how the traffic situation is presented during this time. One can only hope that the DB will have a good knack in carrying out this extensive work!
