There is a risk of train cancellations: Commuters in Schleswig-Holstein have to change!

In July 2025 it will be really turbulent on the rails in Schleswig-Holstein. The reason for this is extensive construction work that will affect both Deutsche Bahn and Nordbahn. As a result, commuters and travelers have to expect a large number of train cancellations, delays and diversions, especially at night.

Lines such as the RE7, which runs between Hamburg Central Station and Neumünster, are particularly affected. Loud kn-online.de Trains will be canceled there between 6:30 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. until July 6th. In the following days, from July 7th to 9th, trains between Hamburg and Neumünster will also be canceled in the evening hours between 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. In addition, travelers must be prepared for night-time cancellations between Rendsburg and Flensburg from July 7th to 13th, which will take place between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Special precautions and alternative transport

The Northern Railway is also affected. Until July 5th, trains on lines RE72 and RB73 will be canceled at night between Kiel, Eckernförde and Flensburg, with replacement bus services set up. At the same time, until July 6th, there will also be nighttime cancellations on the RE74 and RB75 lines between Kiel, Rendsburg and Husum.
Furthermore, travelers must pay attention to changed departure times on the RB82 between Bad Oldesloe and Bad Segeberg from July 4th to 7th. A replacement bus service is also in use here.

The same thing happened for travelers on the route between Plön and Lübeck: In the nights from July 5th to 7th, the RE83/RB84 were canceled, supplemented by replacement buses. Especially from July 23rd to August 4th, when the RB82 from Neumünster to Bad Oldesloe will be affected, the timetables may change dramatically, which will affect travel planning. There will also be outages between Kiel, Bad Oldesloe and Bad Segeberg.

Information and service
