Commutler horror: construction work between Leipzig and Dresden extends waiting times!
On Wednesday morning, the platform in Leipzig filled with commuters, students and a happy group of children who wanted to make their way to Dresden. But instead of a relaxed journey, they were faced with delays and diversions. This is due to the intensive construction work to renew the course on the route between Leipzig and Dresden, which are carried out by Deutsche Bahn (DB). Passengers have to adapt to replacement traffic, longer waiting times and diversions. The Intercity (IC) is diverted via Elsterwerda, which means that the stop in Riesa is eliminated. An express bus was set up for the ICE connections that runs every two hours-and at the same price as a long-distance embroidery. In addition, the travel time with the RE50 is now a proud 2 hours and 13 minutes, which is over an hour longer than usual.
The challenges are not only limited to the route to Dresden. Current information shows that the RE5 and RE50 between Neustrelitz and Waren (Müritz) will also be blocked for the construction of a bridge from July. The necessary work is necessary due to damage to the bridge built since 1972. These requirements will also be troubled by passengers from July 1st to 31st, since replacement traffic with buses between Neustrelitz Hbf and Waren (Müritz) is set up.
fluctuations in driving comfort
In Wurzen, many passengers waited for rail replacement traffic. At the beginning there was only a bus on site, which led to unrest. Due to constructive criticism on the part of the Pro Bahn, DB increased the number of articular buses from five to seven to cope with the rush. But the bus ride through Saxony is less comfortable than the regional railway and at high temperatures and abrupt braking is not always pleasant. The planning shows that the bus ride from Oschatz takes 39 minutes to Wurzen, but the passengers have a beautiful view of the Saxon landscape.
While the construction work between Wurzen and Oschatz is planned, the return trip to Leipzig runs consistently. The trains are well filled, but there are enough seats. DB employees are on site and help travelers with questions. At the latest after the work, the processes at the replacement stops should work without any problems, but the additional travel time of about 30 minutes should not be neglected.
long -term improvements in the rail network
The construction work on the rails are part of a large -scale renovation program of Deutsche Bahn, which affects many important railway lines in Germany. From August 2025, the general renovation of the Berlin - Hamburg route, which is one of the most used connections in the country, will be around 230 trains every day. The renovation work focuses on improving tracks, soft and overhead lines, together with the modernization of 28 traffic stations. The goal is clear: a long -term increase in performance and a higher reliability for travelers.
During the construction period, passengers should always focus on the current information from Deutsche Bahn. For questions about passenger rights, especially in the event of delays, the DB provides comprehensive information. Passengers are entitled to reimbursements of up to 100 percent of their ticket prices in the event of large delays or travel drops.Overall, it is important to wait and see how this work affects future travel experiences. However, the efforts of the DB are a step in the right direction for a modern and powerful rail network.
