Timetable changes at the DB: delays between Wolfsburg and Berlin!
Good afternoon, dear readers! There is currently important information about rail traffic that affects travelers in Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Berlin and other regions. Deutsche Bahn has announced major timetable changes that will affect numerous connections.
The background to these changes is repairs to a switch between Stendal and Berlin. For this reason, travelers must expect serious disruptions to long-distance transport. The ICE trains between Hanover and Berlin are particularly affected, as they no longer have stops in Wolfsburg and Stendal. A delay of around 70 minutes should be allowed for. If you still want to make the journey, you can use the remaining local trains between Wolfsburg Hbf and Braunschweig as an alternative connection to get to your destination. The railway is working intensively to eliminate the disruption, according to a current report on news.de.
Travel information and tips
In order to stay up to date, Deutsche Bahn recommends checking the current connections before traveling bahn.de, in DB Navigator or by telephone. This platform not only offers the ability to check train connections, but also a delay alert that informs travelers of disruptions either via email or app.
In addition, there are some regulations regarding compensation that travelers should be aware of. If there is a delay of 20 minutes, you have the option of continuing the journey on another route. In the event of a delay of 60 minutes, passengers have the right to cancel the journey or request a pro rata refund of the ticket price. And if the delay exceeds 120 minutes, you can even expect to pay 50 percent of the fare.
