Local and regional services will return to the regular timetable, and replacement buses will be withdrawn.
DB InfraGO will restore through traffic
between Hamburg and Berlin on 14 June after completing the main works on the
corridor renovation.
The corridor is one of Germany’s most
important intercity and freight routes. Freight capacity between Hamburg and
Berlin has been restored, including on feeder lines. Trains between Hamburg and
Hagenow Land/Schwerin resumed on 15 May.
Long-distance services will operate from 14
June, but journey times will be adjusted by several minutes until 30 June.
Acceptance testing continues on signalling and interlocking systems between
Hagenow Land and Berlin-Spandau, requiring temporary speed restrictions on
parts of the route.

The restrictions affect long-distance
services only. Local and regional trains will run according to the regular
timetable from reopening.
The renovation began on 1 August 2025. DB
InfraGO renewed 165 km of track, 249 switches, seven crossovers, 678 signals
and 25 platforms. Station works were carried out at 28 locations.
Some station works will continue after
reopening. Platforms at Müssen, Nauen, Falkensee and Albrechtshof will
temporarily be unavailable or only partly accessible.
Passengers with reduced mobility at Nauen,
Falkensee and Albrechtshof are being directed through DB’s Mobility Services
Centre for accessible travel options.
