Rail traffic in the north after Sturm almost normal - all information!

cleaning up after the severe storm damage in northern Germany is largely completed. According to the remarkable impairments, train traffic is largely normal again, as Sat.1 Regional . The ICE route between Hamburg and Berlin was temporarily closed on Monday because a tree in the track was located at Dergenthin between Ludwigslust and Wittenberge. While the route was released at around 11:30 p.m., the second track was not yet navigable in the morning, which led to possible delays.

In addition, the RE6 (Hamburg-Altona-Westerland (Sylt)) drives in the morning at a reduced speed. The trains of this intercity begin and end in Elmshorn, with alternative connections to be offered via the Nordbahn and S3. The RE7 (Flensburg/Kiel Hbf - Hamburg Hbf) and the RE70 (Kiel Hbf - Hamburg Hbf) run again according to schedule, and in regional traffic between Ahrensburg and Bargteheide, the connection was restored at night. The German Weather Service (DWD) has predicted partly strong gusts for Tuesday, especially on the coasts with storm gusts around 85 km/h and possibly stronger gusts on the North Frisian Islands.

traffic disruptions in North Rhine-Westphalia

In North Rhine-Westphalia and other parts of Germany, a storm low led to considerable traffic disruptions, such as ZDF reported. The DWD warned of locally significant gusts of wind until 6:00 p.m. on Monday, but no injuries were reported. The Hamburg-Berlin ICE route was affected again on Monday evening when a tree in the track caused disorders. Here, too, the route was released again around 11:30 p.m., but initially only for one of the two tracks.

In addition, there were impairments in local and regional traffic due to trees in the track in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. The weather -related impairments and delays reported on the "Zuginfo.nrw" portal. In long -distance transport there were diversions and delays, especially between Cologne and Aachen as well as Cologne and Düsseldorf. In Bergisch-Gladbach-Gronau, a train driver of S-Bahn line 11 was able to stop in front of a fallen tree in good time. In Schleswig-Holstein, the trains were severely impaired, with travel time extensions of up to 90 minutes.

The 560 motorway at Hennef was blocked on both sides because parts of a noise protection wall were blown onto the street. This block could last until night. On the A3, a tree also protruded onto the street, while on the A61 branches onto the road. The DWD also warned of smooth roads and stormy gusts in large parts of Germany.
