Disrupted Train Flow Between Kiel and Neumünster - Disrupted rail traffic between Kiel and Neumünster

A tree falling on the overhead line between Kiel and Neumünster has caused a disruption on the North Railway since early Monday morning. This incident has halted train traffic and affected all connections to and from Kiel, both in regional and long-distance traffic.

Experts from Deutsche Bahn (DB) are currently investigating the damage to determine the repair timeline. A first prognosis is expected by midday. In the meantime, all ICE trains between Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and Kiel Hauptbahnhof have been cancelled in both directions.

Passengers are advised to use lines RE 74 and RB 75 to Rendsburg and continue with the RE 7 as an alternative. Replacement traffic has been set up for passengers on lines RE 7 and RE 70. Five replacement buses are shuttling between Kiel and Neumünster to help passengers reach their destinations.

Between Kiel and Flintbek, bus line 790 is in operation as an alternative. However, no information about the North Railway's alternative arrangements is provided at this time.

NDR reported about the disruption earlier. Passengers should expect delays of up to an hour. The responsible party for the repairs on the railway line between Kiel and Neumünster is not explicitly named in the search results, but typically such repairs are commissioned by the railway infrastructure operator, which in Germany is usually Deutsche Bahn or a regional transport authority; no direct confirmation was found in the provided sources.

The company provides current information online, and passengers are encouraged to check for updates regularly. Trips between Kiel and Neumünster on lines RE 7 and RE 70 are completely cancelled. It is expected that the disruption will be resolved by the evening, but no new information about the repair timeline or the expected resolution of the disruption by the evening is provided in this paragraph.

In addition, there is a power outage at Kiel Hauptbahnhof, adding to the challenges faced by passengers and staff during this disruption. The North Railway urges passengers to plan their journeys accordingly and to check for updates regularly.
