Bahn-Pendler in der Region Rathenow sind derzeit mit massiven Verspätungen und Problemen konfrontiert. Insbesondere die RB51-Strecke, die von der Ostdeutschen Eisenbahngesellschaft (Odeg) betrieben wird, ist betroffen.

Pressesprecherin Dietmute Graf erklärte, dass diese Entscheidung aufgrund wiederholter erheblicher Qualitätsmängel getroffen wurde.
