Bremen Central Station Closes Overnight for Bremen‑Burg Signal Cutover

DB InfraGO is commissioning a new electronic interlocking to modernize the Bremen‑Burg corridor.

Overview

  • Train traffic at Bremen Hauptbahnhof is suspended from Sunday 21:00 to Monday 05:00 for the technical changeover.
  • Regional Express lines RE 8 and RE 9 and Nordwestbahn services RS 1 and RS 2 operate with replacement buses during the closure.
  • Long‑distance services are routed past Bremen instead of stopping at the central station during the work window.
  • The cutover connects 113 signals, 48 switches and seven level crossings to the new digital control system.
  • Bus substitution on Region‑S‑Bahn line RS 1 between Bremen‑Vegesack and Farge continues at least through mid‑October, and passengers are advised to check DB’s website or app for updates.
