Prepare for Rail Disruptions on Line RE1: Full Closure from June 23 to July 4
Railway line RE1 temporarily out of service due to construction works. - Railway Line RE1 Obstructed Due to Construction Work
Hey there, travellers! If you're planning to hop on the RE1 rail line between Potsdam and Brandenburg, hold on a sec! There's a bit of a hiccup coming your way. From June 23 to July 4, we're looking at some full closures and restrictions on certain sections due to construction work.
The construction work will affect the connection from Magdeburg via Potsdam to Berlin, but don't worry, the RE1 will still be operational as far as Frankfurt (Oder) and Cottbus.
Starting from this Friday evening (19:50), there will be no trains running between Brandenburg Hauptbahnhof and Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. The section from Berlin-Friedrichstraße towards Brandenburg/Havel will also be impacted. From June 23 to July 4, all trains on the RE1 line between Groß Kreutz and Brandenburg Hauptbahnhof will be cancelled. However, one train per hour and direction will still run on the Potsdam - Groß Kreutz section. There will also be restrictions on the RE8 line between Zoologischer Garten and the airport BER from Friday evening until June 23.
The construction work is being carried out by a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, aiming to renew tracks and perform technical work. In case you're wondering, "What should I do now, buddy?" Fear not! We've got a few alternative transport ideas up our sleeves.
- S-Bahn (S1 or S7): Hop on the S-Bahn lines S1 or S7 to reach Wannsee station – just a few stops short of Potsdam. From Wannsee, you could check local bus connections or other regional trains if available. The S1 is generally more direct and faster than the S7, so it's a preferable option if you're short on time.
- Bus and Local Trains: Scout out local bus services connecting Potsdam and Brandenburg, especially those reachable by S-Bahn lines. If possible, use local or regional trains that might offer detours or alternative routes between the affected areas.
- Alternative Regional Trains: Keep an eye out for other regional train lines that might not be impacted by the closure and serve as a detour. Websites like Moovit or Deutsche Bahn can provide real-time information and help plan alternative routes.
- Public Transportation Apps: Use apps like Moovit, BVG, or VBB to get the latest schedules and plan your journey. These apps can provide updates on service disruptions and help you find the best alternative routes.
Remember, it's crucial to check for any official announcements or replacement services during this period. Stay calm, keep your eyes peeled, and we'll navigate through these tracks together!
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive in the finance sector, aimed at protecting workers from risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in the industry, particularly in the transportation and public-transit sectors.
Meanwhile, passengers planning to use the RE1 rail line between Potsdam and Brandenburg during the closure from June 23 to July 4 may find alternative transportation options such as the S-Bahn (S1 or S7), local bus services, other regional trains, or public transportation apps like Moovit, BVG, or VBB, to help plan their journey during this period.
