Train traffic between Berlin and Werneuchen paralyzed until Thursday!
How is the train traffic in Brandenburg? Passengers on the RB25 regional train between Berlin and Werneuchen currently have to wait for the next train, as train traffic remains suspended for the time being. According to the information from maz-online.de The reasons for this are massive storm damage caused by heavy rain on July 12th and 13th, 2025. The signal box in Ahrensfelde in particular was flooded, which caused Deutsche Bahn to stop train services. As compensation, a replacement bus service will be set up to serve the affected routes by July 17th.
But that's not all! The Niederbarnim Railway has already set up a replacement rail service between Ahrensfelde and Werneuchen. Travelers from Berlin to Ahrensfelde are advised to switch to the S-Bahn, which continues to run. These diversions and offers are necessary to ensure that travelers have a certain degree of mobility despite the adverse circumstances.
Travel safely despite severe weather warnings
However, anyone traveling should be aware that weather warnings have caused massive train cancellations not only in Brandenburg, but also in other parts of Germany. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, regional traffic was temporarily stopped in several regions due to the storm “Zeynep”, which led to significant disruptions to rail traffic. How 24rhein.de Reportedly, many trains were affected and travelers were advised to avoid non-essential journeys.
In particular, the regional routes such as the RB25 from Cologne to Lüdenscheid also had to be switched to replacement traffic after the storm caused severe damage. Fortunately, some trains are now back in operation, but restrictions are still to be expected.
What does this mean for travelers?
For travelers this means that they have to be prepared for longer travel times and may have to resort to alternative bus services. In addition, the railway has goodwill rules in many regions: tickets that were valid on the day of the storm can be used flexibly or canceled free of charge up to seven days after the disruption ends.
In this context, it is important to keep an eye on the current railway information in order to always be up to date and reach your destination safely. Therefore, travelers should think about their travel plans well in advance and regularly check the latest traffic reports and weather warnings to avoid unpleasant surprises. Stay safe and stay mobile!
