New ICE from Bremen: Fast connection to Berlin from December!
The timetable change of Deutsche Bahn, which comes into force on December 15, brings some significant changes to long -distance transport in Germany. New connections are added from Lower Saxony and Bremen to Berlin as well as to Switzerland and Lake Constance. Michael Peterson, a member of the DB board, emphasized that these adjustments are tailored to the existing demand. But not all cities benefit from these innovations, because Bremerhaven has to accept a bitter setback.
With the new timetable, Bremen receives a second ICE connection to Berlin. This train is led with just one stopover in Hanover and takes travelers from Bremen to Berlin in around 2 hours and 45 minutes, with the departure in Berlin at 9:57 a.m. It is important to mention that while Bremen can look forward to additional offer, Bremerhaven has to say goodbye to its only intercity connection.
loss of the intercity connection for Bremerhaven
The city loses its IC train to Koblenz and Cologne, which was only introduced in the end of 2021. After two years of evaluation, the railway found that the demand was left behind the expectations. For this reason, this connection is now being discontinued, which for Bremerhaven and its region means significant weakening in the area of long -distance transport. Mayor Melf Grantz was disappointed with the decision: "With the hiring of the intercity connection, the railway depends on long-distance transport." He therefore asked the train to rethink the decision and create a better connection for Bremerhaven.
The loss of the only intercity connection has far-reaching consequences for the city. The mayor called for a regular ICE connection to enable citizens to travel simple and comfortable. This shows the dependence on a good connection to regional and national long -distance transport, especially for cities that rely on tourism.
New night-time and weekend
However, Deutsche Bahn also offers positive news for travelers: In the future, Wolfsburg, Hanover and Göttingen will connect a new night ices on the edge of the day with Berlin, Frankfurt and Switzerland. This train will hold in Wolfsburg at 5.12 a.m. and continue his journey. The departure from Frankfurt takes place at 0.04 a.m. Back to the capital, the night train starts at 11:29 p.m. and does not miss a stop on its way.In addition, a new weekend-time in Hamburg via Lüneburg, Uelzen, Cellen and Hanover is offered to the Black Forest and Lake Constance. This connection will start on Fridays and Saturdays from Hanover at 12.01 p.m. so that travelers can enjoy nature and leisure opportunities in the Black Forest and Lake Constance at the weekend. Here, too, the train shows that it reacts to the travel habits of the people and creates new opportunities.
For commuters and travelers, there is also an important change in the booking deadlines: The pre -booking period for savings tariffs is extended from six to twelve months. This enables passengers to secure tickets for trips, such as during the summer holidays 2025. In summary, it can be said that during the change of timetable and the new connections in many cities give rise to joy that cities like Bremerhaven experience a disadvantageous development. The planned innovations could mean an improved connection for many travelers, but it remains to be seen whether the persistent requests for preserving or improving the connection for Bremerhaven are heard, so that the region is not left off by long -distance transport, as reported
