Train traffic between Hamburg and Berlin is rolling again. On Tuesday morning, catenary damage caused a real commuter chaos.
Rail customers in Hamburg and Berlin can breathe again: The damage to an overhead line at Hamburg Sternschanze station has been repaired. Since the afternoon, the trains have been leaving the Hanseatic city again on all tracks.
On Tuesday morning, a technical defect caused numerous cancellations and delays on the busy route. Thousands of rail customers did not reach their destination on time. The disruption initially only paralyzed long-distance traffic within Hamburg, according to a local reporter on Tuesday morning.
That alone had already caused long waiting times and crowds on the platforms at the main station. Many travelers had tried to take the S-Bahn or U-Bahn to Harburg. Trains went south from there. S-Bahn and U-Bahn in Hamburg were not affected.
Later, some connections to the south also failed due to the disruption.
