Emergency medical intervention stops train traffic between Hamburg and Bremen!
On Monday morning, October 13, 2025, there were significant traffic disruptions on the important railway line between Hanover and Bremen. An emergency medical intervention interrupted train traffic in the section between Dörverden and Eystrup, which put travelers in a predicament. Deutsche Bahn announced that the closure would probably last until 8 a.m. t-online.de reports that travelers must expect delays and possible train cancellations as a result of this situation.
The police have not yet been able to provide any precise information about the cause of the emergency medical intervention, which increases the uncertainty for passengers. DB Regio Lower Saxony has set up a replacement bus service so as not to completely abandon affected commuters. However, travelers should inform themselves about the current connections before their departure, as the entire situation can change quickly. We recommend consulting the DB platform X, where information on blocking is provided.
Similar incidents also affect other railway lines
This disruption is part of a larger problem that has plagued rail traffic in Germany in recent days. On Friday morning, for example, the railway line between Fürth and Erlangen was closed due to an emergency medical intervention. S-Bahn trains from Nuremberg ended at Fürth Hbf, while trains from Bamberg only went to Erlangen. A replacement service with buses and large-capacity taxis was set up, but travelers also had to expect subsequent delays, such as this Augsburger Allgemeine reported.
In addition, there have also been traffic restrictions on the route between Dresden and Leipzig since Sunday morning. Here a section was closed due to an emergency medical intervention in connection with the Intercity 2044 from Dresden to Hanover. This led to diversions and numerous cancellations in long-distance and regional transport, which placed additional strain on worried travelers mdr.de has documented.
The current situation clearly shows how important it is to always stay up to date, especially in traffic, which is often affected by unforeseen events and disruptions. Drive safely and don't let yourself be disturbed - check the status of your connection regularly!
