Railway interruptions on the Nordbahn in September caused by building projects

North Railway Closures Affect Schleswig-Holstein Travellers

Train passengers in Schleswig-Holstein are advised to prepare for disruptions and changes to their travel plans, as maintenance work on the North Railway is set to commence from the end of the week.

From August 29 to September 5, the stretch between Schleswig and Husum will be completely closed for maintenance work. During this period, the Nordbahn lines RB64, RE72/RB73, and RE74/RB75 will be affected, with full track closures and replacement buses provided. No alternative transportation options have been specified for the multi-day closures in other sections of the North Railway.

From September 1 to 4, there will be multi-day closures between Eckernförde and Süderbrarup, and from September 5 to 6, between Kiel and Eckernförde/Flensburg. As previously stated, no multi-day closures are scheduled for the stretches between Schleswig and Husum, Eckernförde and Süderbrarup, or Kiel and Eckernförde/Flensburg.

From September 30 to October 5, there will be daily night closures between Kiel and Rendsburg. The schedules of the replacement buses will be coordinated with the connecting times of North Railway trains, and replacement buses will be provided for all cancellations on the line between Kiel and Rendsburg. The night closures between Kiel and Rendsburg do not affect the lines RB64, RE72/RB73, and RE74/RB75, which have already been mentioned as affected lines.

The maintenance work is being performed by the North Railway to improve the rail infrastructure and modernize the system. The work will mainly take place during night hours, but there may also be multi-day closures of sections of the track.

The replacement buses will operate during the night closures between Kiel and Rendsburg and during the temporary train closures. The schedules of the replacement buses will be coordinated with the connecting times of North Railway trains to ensure continuity of service.

The North Railway did not provide information about alternative transportation options during the multi-day closures. Passengers are advised to check the North Railway's website or contact customer service for the latest updates and to plan their travel accordingly.

In summary, train passengers in Schleswig-Holstein should expect cancellations and schedule changes from the end of the week, with the North Railway lines RB64, RE72/RB73, and RE74/RB75 being affected by full track closures and replacement buses. Passengers are encouraged to check the North Railway's website or contact customer service for the latest updates and to plan their travel accordingly.
