Great uncertainty: railway line Berlin-Hamburg closed from August!
Kyritz, Deutschland - A great rethink is imminent for rail traffic: On August 1, the railway line from Berlin to Hamburg will be closed to rail transport. This measure will have a comprehensive impact on travel and commuting in Brandenburg. The responsible authorities do everything they can to make this phase as smoothly as possible, but there are still many uncertainties that can endanger a smooth implementation, such as [Uckermark Kurier] (http://www.uckermarkurier.de/regional/brandenburg/sperrung-der-bahnstrecke-berlin-hamburg-noch-- Unkünsicherungen-3697013) reported.
A remarkable number of up to 80 out of a total of 208 planned buses is to be used in Brandenburg as part of the extensive replacement traffic. The “Perleberg, Quitzow” stop will be particularly important as a central transfer point between the different lines of replacement traffic. The Brandenburg section is served by four regular and three express lines.replacement lines and operation
The regular lines include:
- line P: Perleberg via Quitzow and Karstädt to Parchim.
- line R: Kyritz via Wusterhausen and Neustadt to Nauen and Falkensee.
- line S: Wittenberge via Bad Wilsnack, Glöwen, Havelberg and Breddin to Kyritz.
- Line T: Quitzow and Perleberg over Weisen, Wittenberge, Geestgottberg and Seehausen to Osterburg.
The Express lines are made up of the following connections:
- Line X4: Wittenberge via Quitzow, Kyritz, Nauen and Wustermark to Brieselang.
- line X8: Perleberg, Quitzow, Karstädt to Schwerin.
- line X9: Quitzow, Karstädt to Schwerin.
A special challenge for Transport Minister Detlef Tabbert is the acceleration of the construction work, which has so far been slow. The availability of the ordered buses remains an uncertainty factor. The DB sub-entrepreneur Ecovista has ordered new vehicles, but the influx of which is not to begin in June 2025. The state government expects the contractor to bring the agreed services. In chaos, the contractor should have to make a replacement, which could further complicate the situation.
information and apps for travelers
To inform travelers about the upcoming construction work, the page DB Regio an overview of current construction sites and disturbances in rail traffic. There, users can search for restrictions on certain routes and receive comprehensive information on the respective line as well as to the start and destination stations. The DB Navigator App is a practical tool for real -time information for descents, connections and tickets.
In addition, there are regional timetable apps that are ideal for commuters in Berlin and Brandenburg. The apps offer current information and help to find the best connections, such as the VBB app and "MV drives well" in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Travelers should use the various offers to adjust to the upcoming changes as possible.
Finally, it can be seen that the coming weeks will be a challenging time for railway users in Brandenburg. Despite the necessary changes, everyone involved hopes for a smooth implementation of replacement traffic in order not to unnecessarily restrict the mobility of travelers. According to the VDV annual report, local public transport plays a crucial role in the mobility turnaround and is still an important topic for traffic planning in the region.
