Replacement traffic between Hamburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Passenger Association expresses criticism
Schwerin (dpa/mv) - The upcoming full closure of the railway line between Hamburg and Berlin has led to a sharp displeasure with the Pro Bahn passenger association. The criticism refers in particular to the inadequate replacement connections that affect numerous travelers, especially from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
important connection affected
The blocking that begins on Friday evening and will last until mid -December has far -reaching effects on travelers who want to drive from Hamburg in cities such as Schwerin, Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund. However, many affected travelers are not aware of the changes, since there are only a few indications of the upcoming restrictions at the train stations. The preliminary information in the blocking of the Riedbahn between Frankfurt and Mannheim was comparatively more comprehensive.
Criticism of inadequate replacement offer
The replacement offer between Hamburg, Schwerin, Rostock and Stralsund is referred to as "lean". According to Stefan Barkleit, the chairman of the Pro Bahn-Landesverband Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein, only one bus runs instead of the regular two-hour regional express line. However, this bus starts at fewer central departures such as the Hamburg-Wandsbeker Chaussee or Hamburg-Bergedorf S-Bahn station. Travelers who are waiting for the bus at the main train station are on their own if the planning is wrong.
bad connection options
The passenger association also points out that the connection options are insufficient due to the IC bus system offered. The IC bus runs from Hamburg ZOB at the main train station to Schwerin six times a day, but the connections to Rostock and Stralsund are only possible twice a day. For travelers who want to drive from Hamburg to Schwerin, a change to Bad Kleinen is necessary, which brings additional inconvenience. The association therefore calls for more direct train connections via Lübeck to improve the situation.
bottlenecks in the regional trains feared
The concern for the capacities in the small railcar between Lübeck and Bad Kleinen grows. Especially the evening connections, such as the missing IC bus to Schwerin at 8:40 p.m., contribute to dissatisfaction. The entire replacement offer per train is "unusable" and calls for better planning for possible future closures that have already been threatened for 2025 and 2026.
conclusion: need for action for future developments
The upcoming work on the railway line between Hamburg and Berlin not only causes resentment among the travelers, but also represent a clear need for action for the responsible institutions. So that the mobility of the passengers does not suffer and the connections in the region remain reliable, a more comprehensive and far -sighted planning for replacement traffic is essential.
