Overview

  • An overhead line was torn down near Klein Süstedt and Suderburg, disrupting train services between Hamburg and Hannover.
  • Long-distance trains, including ICE and IC, are being rerouted via Rotenburg (Wümme), skipping stops in Lüneburg, Uelzen, and Celle, causing delays of about 30 minutes.
  • Regional trains operated by Metronom are running with delays, and replacement bus services have been provided between Uelzen and Suderburg.
