Rail chaos in Brandenburg: Regional trains are canceled - buses as a replacement!
There are currently significant disruptions on regional train line 65, which is intended to serve the connection between Spremberg in the Spree-Neiße and Horka in Saxony. Since Tuesday, some train stations in this section have no longer been served. The train stations Schleife, Weißwasser, Rietschen, Hähnichen and Uhsmannsdorf are affected. In order to still transport travelers, a replacement bus service was set up that runs between Spremberg and Horka. However, the ODEG, the responsible transport company, admits that this replacement traffic cannot fully compensate for the “massive effects” of the disruption, as reported on rbb24.
The cause of the massive disruption in regional transport is a short-term infrastructure disruption for which DB InfraGO AG is responsible. The Schleife and Weißkeißel train stations are particularly affected, as they are not accessible due to short-term switch closures. The ODEG is therefore unable to operate train services on the RB 65 line according to the timetable and is immediately demanding that the disruption be rectified and a binding timetable for the restoration of railway operations. The company also demands transparent information about ongoing construction work in the region, as there have been infrastructure problems for months.
Details about the malfunction
The impact of the disruptions is particularly serious for commuters and travelers. The ODEG emphasized in a statement that the current situation is extremely unfortunate for passengers and that problems can be observed not only at the affected train stations, but also throughout regional transport. The course of the disruptions can be followed on the interactive disruption map from bahn.de aktuell, where current train cancellations and route interruptions are shown.
These disruptions in regional transport are not just a local problem; They shed light on the general infrastructure problems in the German rail network, which have repeatedly come into focus in recent months. According to bahn.de, passengers can find out about real-time positions of trains, departure boards and other information about delays. The push notifications of the delay alarm function also offer travelers the opportunity to stay up-to-date about any delays.
Overall, the situation on regional train line 65 remains tense, and the affected passengers are hoping for quick solutions and improved communication regarding the causes of the disruption and how to resolve it.
