House fire stops train traffic between Delmenhorst and Bremen!
In northern Germany, a fire near the railway line between Delmenhorst and Bremen is causing significant traffic disruptions. On July 10, 2025, Nordwestbahn train services were temporarily suspended due to a house fire near Heidkrug station. Affected passengers must prepare for changes and use alternative transport options.
The Nordwestbahn immediately interrupted train traffic between Delmenhorst and Bremen. Customers are advised to use the bus from Delmenhorst to Bremen-Huchting. From there you can continue your journey by tram to the main train station. Interestingly, the Nordwestbahn does not have its own buses, which is why additional companies have to be commissioned to provide bus replacement services. In order to offer passengers the greatest possible support, the aim is to organize replacement transport quickly.
Fire: reason for the disruption
The fire, which broke out near the railway line, led to the immediate suspension of train services. Fortunately, there was no evidence that long-distance traffic was affected by this disruption. The first report of the incidents came from Weser courier, who immediately uncovered the situation. Such disruptions in the complex transport networks are not uncommon for railway companies, as experts from Disruptions in rail traffic explain.
The causes of such interruptions can be varied. Disturbances are often triggered by circumstances such as fallen trees, damage to vehicles or overhead lines. The “Disruptions in Rail Traffic” initiative offers information and support, especially when it comes to route closures and other disruptions.
Nordwestbahn is working to take all necessary steps to restore normal operations as quickly as possible. In the meantime, passengers who rely on the train must plan using the alternative travel routes described.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether additional measures need to be taken to ensure smooth transit for passengers. Train passengers are asked to regularly inform themselves about current developments and to make adjustments to their travel plans if necessary.
