Hannover S‑Bahn Disruptions Persist as Signal Fault Keeps WennigsenHaste Line Shut

DB Infrago withholds clearance pending further test runs on the troubled section near Bantorf.

Overview

  • A week after an interlocking malfunction, service on the WennigsenHaste corridor remains suspended.
  • S21 is canceled for the day, while S1 and S2 turn back at Barsinghausen with buses bridging to Haste.
  • Recent probe runs did not meet the threshold to reopen the route, according to operator Transdev citing DB Infrago.
  • Additional test runs are scheduled with the earliest lifting of the closure expected in the late afternoon.
  • The disruption stems from recurring signal problems near Bantorf that have prevented normal operations.
