Timetable changes on the RS 1: Alarm signal for commuters in Verden!

Commuters between Bremen and Langwedel need to be careful: from September 25, 2025, there will be some changes to the Nordwestbahn timetable. The reason for this is maintenance work by Deutsche Bahn (DB InfraGO AG), which affects the infrastructure on the important RS 1 train line. The route between Verden and Bremen in particular is not spared from the work, which brings with it some changes for all users of the railway line, such as Weser courier reported.

The affected journeys will run at later times, so that the RS 1 train connection will now depart from Verden (Aller) at 10:42 p.m. What happens next and what specific travel times apply can be seen in the replacement timetable, which is available on the website Northwest Railway is provided. Alternatively, if you would like to find out about the progress and changes, you will also find useful information bahn.de and fahrplaner.de.

Extensive construction work until November 2025

The maintenance work, which will last until November 2025, is part of an extensive program by Deutsche Bahn that affects several lines, including RS 2, RS 3, RS 4 and others. During this construction period, timetable adjustments on various sections of the route are to be expected. The overview of the planned measures was published on August 21st, but short-term changes cannot be ruled out, as can be read on the Nordwestbahn website.

Overall, massive and necessary renovation work is pending, which will entail far-reaching changes in the German rail network. The ADAC informs that the modernization will affect numerous important sections of the route by 2036. Tourists and commuters must prepare for various closures and longer travel times - a challenge that will accompany many travelers in the coming years.

A look into the future

The rail network will be extensively renovated: by 2030 there will be numerous major construction sites that will affect not only Bremen but the whole of Germany. More than 40 important sections of the route will be closed for several months. The effects of these extensive measures are obvious and require a high degree of flexibility from travelers. From Hamburg to Berlin to Stuttgart, adjustments are necessary across the country.

Especially in this phase it is important to stay well informed. Commuters in Bremen should therefore regularly check the latest information and prepare for longer journey times and, if necessary, alternative travel options. This is how you keep moving – despite the construction sites!
