Visitors to the island of Usedom can be happy, because the UBB trains (RB23) are now driving directly to the center of Swinemünde-without rail replacement traffic from Ückeritz. At the same time, the ODEG will take over the lines RB17 and RB18 in the west of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and offer additional trips on the Mecklenburg southern Railway.
