Complete Closure of Bremen-Hamburg Railway LineUp to 600 passengers face long delays and cancellations due to overhead wire damage and a brush fire in Lower Saxony.
- Damage to an overhead wire near Buchholz in the Nordheide caused an emergency stop of a Metronom train, where smoke was observed.
- The railway line between Hamburg and Bremen is fully closed due to this damage and a simultaneous brush fire.
- Approximately 500 to 600 passengers were evacuated and are being transported by buses.
- Firefighters are extinguishing the brush fire while the railway company anticipates hours of disruption without a clear reopening time.
