Dresden Central Station Closes Through Monday for Upgrade Works

The shutdown enables DB to replace a worn crossing structure and update signalling within the LeipzigDresden corridor upgrade now at its midpoint.

Overview

  • All train traffic at Dresden Hauptbahnhof is suspended from Friday 0:00 until Monday 4:00, with replacement trams and buses running and only minor weather-related delays reported, according to VVO.
  • Long-distance services to Berlin and Leipzig start and end at Dresden-Neustadt, and Prague connections use buses between Neustadt and Ústí nad Labem, adding about an hour of travel time.
  • Local impacts include no S1/S2 between Dresden-Neustadt and Dresden-Reick, RE3/RB30/S3 terminating at Dresden-Plauen, and RE15/RE18/RB31 at Dresden-Friedrichstadt, with bus links provided.
  • DVB has reactivated tram line 26 to bolster capacity between key inner-city stations during the closure, supplementing regular urban transit and rail-replacement buses.
  • DB has scheduled another full closure for 14–16 February, while separate works bring bus replacements on MRB’s RB110 and RE6 from 12–18 January and night/weekend S- and U‑Bahn disruptions in Munich into mid‑March.
