Closure of RE2 and RE7: Commuters between Cottbus and Berlin affected!
There is news again from the region that affects commuters and travelers alike. From November 7th to December 5th, 2025, the RE2 line between Cottbus and Lübben will remain closed due to construction work for a second track and bridge renovations near Lübbenau. During this time, the RE7 trains between Berlin Ostkreuz and Lübbenau/Cottbus will also be canceled, so traveling during this time will be a real challenge for many.
The construction work will result in extensive rail replacement bus services. Loud LR Online The journey with the express bus from Cottbus to Lübben will take around 1 hour and 5 minutes, while the train journey normally only takes around 30 minutes. If you want to get to Berlin Central Station, you should also plan more time: the total travel time here by bus is a whopping 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Alternative travel options
Commuters can alternatively take the RE10 or RB43 to Calau in order to change to the RE7 to Berlin, but there are also some travel restrictions here. From November 7th to 28th, the RE7 trains between Lübben and Calau will be canceled. By then it will be time to look for another bypass. The only real alternative is via Frankfurt (Oder) – and the maximum travel time here is around 2 hours and 40 minutes.

It should be noted, however, that the express buses are not accessible to passengers with reduced mobility - another point that complicates matters.
