Removal of the route between Husum and Bredstedt: Take care of travelers!

A restless day for rail travelers from and to Husum: From today, June 14, 2025, the route between Huskum and Bredstedt is closed due to a damaged bridge. This measure will probably remain in force until 6:00 p.m. Travelers have to adapt to train failures, especially on the RE 6 line, which normally runs between Westerland on Sylt and Hamburg-Altona and ends in Husum and Bredstedt. For many, this will probably mean switching to buses.

The current traffic reports provide an overview of the location and are essential for travelers who want to get to the destination. If you want to find out more about replacement stops and the possibilities of replacement traffic, you will find the necessary information at Bahnhof.de. A clever tip: Before the start of the trip, passengers should find out about their connections on the Deutsche Bahn platforms, be it on Bahn.de, in the DB Navigator app or through contact with the regional customer dialogue.

information on punctuality

Punctuality in the long -distance traffic of Deutsche Bahn has unfortunately often left a lot to be desired in recent years. In 2023, only around 64% of long -distance trains were on time, while 36% were at least six minutes late. In the first quarter of 2023, however, the DB Regio had a significantly better punctuality of 92 to 93%. Disruptions from construction sites, vehicles or technical problems are still negative, especially often in distant and regional connections.

Deutsche Bahn, however, took measures to improve the situation. In 2023 the program "SB² - Building in Tact" was launched. The goal is to keep rail operations stable despite the high need for construction and to achieve better coordination between driving and construction work. In the future, standardized blocking times will be introduced to minimize unforeseen disorders. The idea is that more than 80% of the maintenance work will be carried out from July to December 2024, which should bring increased predictability for travelers.

service tips for travelers

In order to reduce the inconveniences for passengers, Deutsche Bahn offers various service offers. Users can access real -time information at departure times and delays via the official website and the DB Navigator app. Deutsche Bahn also provides information on social media about current events, route closures and delays. This could also be helpful to find alternative routes.

The challenges in rail traffic should not be underestimated. Treisers have to act patiently from irregular timetables caused by various factors such as construction work, storms or strikes. Ultimately, it remains to be hoped that Deutsche Bahn can further increase punctuality and that the railway operation will soon be more smooth again.
