Train cancellations between Erkner and Fürstenwalde: What travelers need to know!

For commuters and travelers between Erkner and Fürstenwalde from June 20, 2025: Patience is required! How Moz.de reported that due to construction work there are train cancellations on the RE1 route, which runs from Magdeburg via Potsdam and Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) and Cottbus. The construction work will last until July 6th and will be carried out by DB InfraGO AG.

During this time, a maximum of one train per hour runs in each direction, and the stop in Hangelsberg is partially omitted. Regular trips only operate Monday to Friday and the weekend of July 5th and 6th. On the weekends from June 20th to 23rd and June 27th to 30th, all trains between Erkner and Fürstenwalde will be canceled.

Replacement traffic ensures flexibility

So that travelers can still reach their destination, a replacement bus service will be set up. The departure times of the replacement buses are available on the Odeg websites, Bahn.de and VBB.de visible. However, drivers and passengers should note that wheelchairs, strollers and bicycles can only be taken on a limited basis. Wheelchairs and strollers have priority when allocating space.

But that's not all: further train cancellations on the RE1 line have been announced until July 25, 2025. The background to the extensive construction work is the track renewals and the construction of the Fangschleuse station at Tesla. The measures are part of a broader plan to modernize the route network in Brandenburg, like RBB24 reported.

Additional restrictions for travelers

But other lines are also affected! The full closure on the RE1 commuter route is not the only construction site that travelers have to expect in the coming weeks. From June 6th to June 23rd, the connection between Brandenburg an der Havel and Potsdam will be completely canceled. A replacement bus service will also be provided here.

The reasons for these restrictions are also construction work on the control and safety technology. Travelers should plan enough time for their journey and find out about possible changes in advance, as can also be read in other reports on the current construction sites on the Deutsche Bahn network, such as on Travel reporter is summarized.

It remains to be seen how travelers will navigate this summer of construction. However, one thing is clear: modernization must be pushed forward - and every construction site brings not only challenges, but also progress.
