The railway announces failures: affected routes and important information

If you want to take the train from Güstrow to Neubrandenburg in the coming weeks, you should be prepared for a few changes. Again Northern Courier reported, there will be several train cancellations on the RE4 route between September 18th and October 16th. This primarily affects the nights between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

The corresponding trains between Bützow and Neubrandenburg are often canceled and are usually replaced by buses. However, passengers should note the different bus travel times, as not all of the replacement bus stops are located directly at the train stations. Furthermore, individual trains between Bützow and Güstrow are also canceled - a circumstance that is guaranteed to cause inconvenience for some commuters and travelers.

Schedule changes and restrictions

The affected nights are specifically:

• 18. September auf 19. September
• 16. Oktober auf 17. Oktober

Another important point is that the RE 5364 departs Güstrow up to 18 minutes earlier, which could be important for travelers who rely on the connection. There have also already been announcements about the upcoming maintenance work that affects trains between the Baltic Sea and Berlin - specifically on September 10th to September 11th, on October 6th to October 7th and on October 8th to October 9th, each between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. These restrictions affect connections to Rostock/Neubrandenburg, Neustrelitz and Berlin.

Maintenance work on the rail network

The reasons for these numerous failures are clear: maintenance work. This is part of a comprehensive plan to improve infrastructure and tracks. As in Status report from DB InfraGO As can be seen, the entire rail network is regularly checked and evaluated.

In 2023, over 2,000 kilometers of tracks and more than 1,800 switches were renewed. The condition of the train stations has also improved compared to previous years. The overall rating of the rail network was increased from 3.03 to 3.00, which represents a positive development for users. However, there is still a lot of work to be done, as around 50 percent of the signal boxes need to be replaced.

Relevance for commuters and travelers

This has significant consequences for users of the RE4, which runs from Stendal to Neubrandenburg. This line runs regularly and is an essential means of transport for many. For journeys between Rathenow, Berlin, Ludwigsfelde and Jüterbog, it should also be noted that additional journeys are offered during peak hours in order to meet the needs of the commuting population. This development was brought about by the VBB initiated, which takes care of improving connection options.

However, with the right planning and timely information, most of these changes can be easily managed. Commuters and travelers should prepare well for the coming weeks and always keep an eye on the current timetables.
