Rail chaos in the north: travelers between Hanover and Hamburg affected!

If you want to travel from Hanover to Hamburg on Sunday, you should be prepared for some inconveniences. How Sat1Regional Reportedly, rail traffic is suffering considerably due to overhead line disruptions near Celle. This disruption affects the RE2 and RE3/RB31 lines between Uelzen and Hannover Hbf. The restrictions are expected to last until the afternoon hours.

But that's not all: In the morning, over 140 passengers had to be evacuated from a regional train near Celle. The disruption doesn't just have local effects; Trains between Hamburg and Berlin are also partially canceled, and travelers on the route between Hamburg and Hanover must expect delays of up to 50 minutes. Some connections are completely canceled, so travelers should consider alternative routes via Verden or Bremen. The railway is working hard to resolve the problem and hopes to find a solution in the course of the afternoon, said ZDF today firmly.

Travel alternatives in prospect

Anyone traveling between Hamburg and Berlin should approach the matter much more flexibly and avoid Hanover. In addition to the sudden delays, the stops of the ICE trains between Hamburg and Hanover in Celle, Uelzen and Lüneburg, which are temporarily canceled, must also be taken into account. Passengers who have train-specific tickets in their pockets are allowed to use them on alternative trains or on a different day, which can be a great advantage in such situations.

The railway also provides information about the rights of passengers. In the event of major delays or train cancellations, travelers can use their tickets at a later date or request a refund of the ticket price. This is worth remembering!
