Rail Disruptions Persist Between Hamburg and Hannover Due to Torn Overhead Line

Repair work is ongoing after an overhead line fell onto a freight train, with delays and rerouted services expected until later this afternoon.

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.
The damaged freight train is being towed away to enable repair work on the overhead line, which is expected to be completed by 16:00 local time.
Passengers are advised to check updates on the Deutsche Bahn website or DB Navigator app before traveling, as disruptions continue.
