Important information for rail travelers: Impairments from October 10th!

Deutsche Bahn has published an important message for travelers in Germany. On Friday, October 11, 2024, there will be impairments in long -distance transport between Berlin Central Station and Berlin Ostbahnhof. These changes result from an official measure related to a state visit. Affected travelers are asked to inform themselves about the new timetables and any diversions and to plan their trips accordingly.

The beginning of these restrictions is set for Friday afternoon, specifically from 12 p.m. Due to these changes, diversions and sub -failures are expected, which could have an impact on travel times for some long -distance traffic connections.

affected connections and diversions

The DB has announced specific changes for different trains. For example, the IC trains from Berlin to Hannover-Bad Bentheim-Amsterdam Centraal will end in Berlin in Berlin, which will stop at the Ostbahnhof, as well as the stop in Berlin Central Station. The same applies to EC trains between Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder) and Warsaw: they will also end in Berlin.

In addition, there will be some diversions on the ICE trains. Trains between Berlin and the Rhineland or Ruhr area have to accept detour routes, which can lead to a delay of about ten minutes. Likewise, the connections from Berlin to Hildesheim and Frankfurt am Main suffer similar delays and diversions. These adjustments make early information and planning essential for travelers.

For travelers who are affected by these changes, Deutsche Bahn recommends checking the current traffic situation on the website Bahn.de or in the DB navigator before departure. This could prevent future inconvenience through unexpected delays or lost connections.

In addition, DB offers some alternatives: the local trains can be used between Berlin Hauptbahnhof and Berlin Ostbahnhof, as well as the subway. These options are particularly useful to circulate the effects of the above -mentioned diversions.

regulation for delays

What to do if your connection is late? According to the regular provisions of the DB, travelers can interrupt their journey with a delay of at least 20 minutes and later continue on a different route after the binding return. If the train is even more than an hour of delay, ticket holders are entitled to cancel or resign, with a proportionate reimbursement of the ticket price. In the event of delays from 60 minutes, compensation of 25 percent of the fare can also be requested, while a reimbursement claim of 50 percent can be claimed with more than 120 minutes delay.

This current information is still available on the Bahn.de platform and are regularly updated to enable travelers the best possible planning. The Redaktion is available for feedback and suggestions at Note@news.de and offers a variety of ways to remain informed via social media about the progress of the situation.
