In an announcement made by the Hessische Landesbahn, passengers traveling between Gießen and Alsfeld should expect disruptions to their travel plans from August 20th to August 26th. The disruptions are due to ongoing construction work on the RB 45 line.

Specifically, the affected line is RB 45, and the construction work will take place from August 20th to August 26th. As a result, train cancellations will occur during this period. However, it is important to note that the train cancellations will not happen on August 18th or August 27th.

During the train cancellations, a replacement bus service will be available. The replacement bus service operating from Monday, August 18 to August 27 instead of the Regionalbahn 45 between Gießen and Alsfeld is called the SEV 45 (Schienenersatzverkehr 45). This bus substitution is offered due to construction works on the line RB 45 by DB InfraGo.

The Hessische Landesbahn has announced that train cancellations will occur during the construction work. Passengers traveling on the RB 45 line between Gießen and Alsfeld should expect train cancellations from August 20th to August 26th. The train cancellations on the RB 45 line will last until August 27th.
