New winter timetable in Hamburg: Over 100 changes from Sunday!

From Sunday, December 15, 2024, the new winter timetable of the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV) comes into force, which ensures S-Bahn and local transport between Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein with more than 100 changes. While Hamburg is slightly expanding its offer, many connections are deleted in the adjacent Schleswig-Holstein, mainly for financial reasons. The S-Bahn line 3 between Pinneberg and Elbgaustraße is most affected, which will only drive every 20 minutes on Sundays and public holidays instead of in the previous ten-minute cycle. According to ndr also reduces the number of night trains to Kiel, Lübeck, Bad Oldesloe and Wrist.

The timetable change also brings significant adjustments to the subway lines and the bus connections. The U1 between Ohlsdorf and Ochsenzoll will drive from 1:15 p.m. every five-minute. Many bus lines, including lines 3, 9 and 17, increase their frequency in the outskirts, while other lines will rarely drive to adapt to demand. In addition, the new Expressbus line X27 creates a direct connection between Rahlstedt and Poppenbüttel. The harbor ferries, such as lines 61 and 64, also increase their journeys, such as Dt5 online

The new ticket prices that apply from January also bring changes: Several single tickets will be ten cents more expensive, while the 9 o'clock day ticket will lose its time restriction and will only be available as a full day ticket in the future. With these measures, the HVV reacts to the changed demand and shows a adapted timetable for the region.
