Gigantic train failures between Oschatz and Riesa - that's how they are affected!

Oschatz, Deutschland - The quiet train stations in the region will experience a drastic change from Tuesday, June 24th. From that day, train traffic between Oschatz and Riesa will be severely restricted. The changes that will last until Friday affect both the local and long-distance transport. For many travelers who rely on these connections, this means a large change. According to LVZ IC connections that pass the region are affected.

For long -distance travelers who want to travel to Frankfurt Airport, for example, it will not only be more difficult, but also more time -consuming. You have to switch to replacement buses or travel via Leipzig, which means detours and longer travel times. It is particularly important that the ICE line from Dresden to Wiesbaden only starts from Leipzig during the construction work-keep in Dresden and Riesa completely. A replacement bus is offered for the IC, but without the stop in Riesa, such as the Tag24 reported.

extensive construction work and alternatives

These restrictions are part of comprehensive construction work that will start on June 23 at 9 p.m. and will take until June 29 at 5:30 p.m. The total blocking affects the section between Oschatz and Wurzen due to an urgently needed course renewal at Dornreichenbach. For the regional trains S3 and Saxonia Express (RE50), alternative rail replacement traffic with only seven buses were planned. However, the passenger organization Pro Bahn sees this replacement as inadequate, since the RE50 was constantly overcrowded before the construction work and only five articular buses are offered as a replacement.
A full failure of ICE trains during the construction period is also complained; They end or then only start in Leipzig.

Another sticking point is the intercity lines: the connection from Dresden to Hanover is led via a detour route, with a stop in Elsterwerda, but without stopping in Riesa. Here, too, no replacement traffic for Riesa is offered. Holidaymakers and business travelers must therefore be particularly careful to plan their journey in advance and to regularly inform themselves about the current connections. The Deutsche Bahn provides various service offers, including the DB Navigator app, which offers real-time information at departure times, delays and operating disorders.

despite restrictions: travelers should remain informed

Deutsche Bahn recommends to find out more about possible connections and replacement offers in good time. In addition, the station ads and loudspeaker announcements are important sources of information on site, which keep travelers up to date with changes. Users can also find out about current events and route closures about the social media of Deutsche Bahn, such as the X-account (formerly Twitter). In summary, the upcoming construction work show how important it is to have a good hand in rail traffic and to adapt to any changes in good time. Those who want to travel in the Oschatz and Riesa region should be on longer trips and detours - well planned is half won!
