Storm deep teles ensures massive train failures in the Bergisches Land!

S-Bahn traffic in the Bergisches Land is currently very disturbed. Many trains fail, which is due to a storm low. In Remscheid, a tree has blocked the tracks of the S7 S7, which leads from Solingen via Remscheid to Wuppertal. The affected area is located between Remscheid Hauptbahnhof and Remscheid-Güldenwerth, which means that the tracks are temporarily not accessible. The trains of the S7 stop at the next train station and wait for the end of the closure, but the duration of which is still unknown. The S8 S-Bahn line is also affected. Here, a fallen tree between Düsseldorf-Gerresheim and Erkrath has led to failures and delays. There are also other disorders in the Hagen area on the S8.

The German Weather Service warns of heavy gusts of wind with wind speeds between 80 and 100 km/h, which corresponds to wind force 9 to 10. These extreme weather conditions lead to the dangers of falling trees and falling roof tiles or branches. Although the damage to a bridge in Duisburg is repaired, trains of the S-Bahn S1 (Solingen-Düsseldorf-Duisburg-Dortmund) drive irregularly. Connections that lead to the Ruhr area via Düsseldorf airport are particularly affected, with two out of three trains per hour affected, while some connections are completely.

storm deep "Telse" influences train traffic

The storm low "Telse" has also caused far -reaching delays in train traffic in Germany. According to reports from the Deutsche Bahn, the situation is slowly stabilizing, but there is still a disturbed operating sequence, especially in northern North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Fallow trees and objects in the overhead lines significantly affect distant, regional and freight transport. Every second train in long -distance transport has been affected by delays since Wednesday, and there were no direct connections between Hamburg and Berlin in the morning.

Furthermore, the fire brigade and repair teams reported intensively on the restoration of the routes. In a separate incident, a metronome regional train collided with a fallen tree between Uelzen and Hanover, but there were no injuries. Operation damage led to the blocking of this section of the route. Storm gusts of up to 120 km/h were registered in the Netherlands, which also resulted in numerous uprooted trees. It is tragic that a 19-year-old woman in Lochem, near the German border, was killed by a falling tree.
