Large timetable changes: Buses replace trains from Bremen via Oldenburg!

Exciting times for rail traffic in northwestern Germany: From June 16 to 19 June 2025, passengers between Bremen Hbf and Oldenburg Hbf and between Oldenburg Hbf and Bad Zwischenahn have to prepare for some changes. The reason for this is maintenance work by Deutsche Bahn, which require replacement traffic for this time. Buses will replace the trains in the late evening, night and early morning hours, which also means that there will be changed travel times. The changeover will bring some challenges in particular for cyclists: taking bicycles in the SEV buses is not possible, such as [Nwzonline] (https://www.nwzonline.de/oldenburg/Bahnplanendungen-bei-der-bahn- Bahn-bremen-ueber-oldenburg-nach-bad-juni-juni-2025-in-bite-stäge-stäge-stähen_a_4,907953849.html) determined.

What does that mean specifically for travelers? For many, it will be important to keep an eye on the exact departure times, since the buses not only have to act as a cooperation partner, but also have to adapt the normal timetables. The railway would like to ensure that the changeover is as smooth as possible and that travelers quickly have all the necessary information on hand.

replacement buses for the summer

The replacement traffic is not a unique matter. From August 2025, the Hamburg - Berlin route will be completely blocked for nine months, so that many train connections also have to be replaced by buses at short notice. Deutsche Bahn plans massive diversions and even uses up to 180 buses on 26 different lines. These buses will drive up to 86,000 kilometers every day to make travel easier, such as DB Hamburg-Berlin. This shows once again that despite the challenges that such work bring with it, the railway wants to have a good hand to maintain mobility.

preparations for the Riedbahn

Deutsche Bahn is aware of the importance of replacement traffic and has invested a lot in preparation. The new bus fleet for the Riedbahn renovation is being played promising. With 150 new joint and overland buses, which are equipped with modern amenities such as WLAN and USB charging sectors, travel is also to be conveniently designed in replacement traffic. A newly recruited team of around 400 bus drivers from home and abroad are trained for professional transport, which are trained for their efforts, such as [db press] (https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/Pressestart_zentrales_Ueberlicht/ BETACHT-AN-DER-DER-DREISFLOTT-FLOTT-SIND-FLOTT-12879832) explained.

This comprehensive preparation shows that Deutsche Bahn is willing to do good business with public transport, even if diversions and traffic adjustments often appear confusing at first glance. The travelers can look forward to a well -organized time and a modern bus fleet that also ensures reliable mobility during the renovation work.
