Traffic chaos in Delmenhorst: Buses replace trains between Bremen and Hude!
There could be an unusual travel situation in Bremen on Tuesday evening. Due to necessary maintenance work on the Deutsche Bahn infrastructure, there will be a replacement rail service between August 12th and 14th, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. All train connections on the RS4 regional train line, which also runs via Delmenhorst, are affected. So if you want to go from Bremen to Hude or in the opposite direction, you should prepare for this replacement traffic, like this Weser courier reported.
The reason for these changes is a comprehensive maintenance measure on the route between Bremen and Leer. Instead of the usual regional trains, replacement buses will be used, although these do not offer space for bicycles - for safety and capacity reasons. These buses are specially designed for passenger transport, allowing travelers to use a direct connection without multi-room compartments. If you want to travel outside the alternative times, you should rely on the regular regional trains before or after this period.

The exact travel times of the replacement buses are listed in the replacement timetable, which can be found on the regiosbahn.de, bahn.de and fahrplaner.de websites. It is advisable to find out about this in good time to avoid unnecessary waiting times.
