Ongoing construction on the Rhine Valley Railway in southwestern Germany will lead to significant service disruptions from April 18th to 27th. Passengers should expect cancellations, timetable changes, and the implementation of replacement bus services. NightJet's sleeper trains will also experience cancellations in mid-April due to Deutsche Bahn's unexpected construction announcements. This project includes adding new tracks and switches, particularly affecting the important north-south connection through the region. The work aims to upgrade the rail line for better long-term service but will create immediate inconveniences for both regional and international rail passengers.
Travellers planning to pass through southwestern Germany around the Easter holiday, especially from April 18th to the 27th, can expect serious disruptions in both long-distance and regional rail services.
From Good Friday (April 18th) intensive work will commence between Karlsruhe and Rastatt, at Rastatt station, and between Denzlingen and Freiburg.
Sleeper train operator NightJet also recently announced a number of cancellations in the area from April 14th to the 28th, citing Deutsche Bahn (DB) construction "announced at short notice".
The approximately 200-kilometre-long route through this region is among the most important north-south connections in Europe, so international rail travellers passing through Germany will also be affected.
