Severe train failures: route closure between Husum and Heide!

Husum, Deutschland - this day, July 2, 2025, there are important news from rail traffic in northern Germany. Deutsche Bahn has announced a route closure between Husum and Heide (Holst), which presents the travelers with challenges.

In order to ensure the security of the passengers, the train traffic between these two cities is likely to be completely set until 2:00 p.m.

The effects are already noticeable: train failures are the result and Deutsche Bahn has set up replacement traffic by bus. The affected lines comprise the RE 6, which normally runs from Westerland (Sylt) to Hamburg-Altona. Travelers have to prepare for the trains in Husum and Heide (Holst) end and start.
