Disruptions on Ulm-Geislingen-Stuttgart Railway Line: Overhead Line Damage and Bomb Disposal
The Ulm-Geislingen-Stuttgart railway line is currently experiencing disruptions due to two separate incidents. On Tuesday, a freight train caused overhead line damage near Amstetten, and a pilot bomb was disposed of near Stuttgart, leading to the temporary closure of the line.
As a result, the RE5 line from Stuttgart only runs as far as Geislingen. Passengers intending to travel towards Stuttgart may alternatively travel via Wendlingen. The train that caused the initial damage was towed away by Tuesday evening, but the repair work is being carried out by a team with a special vehicle and is expected to be completed by Wednesday evening.
Until the repairs are finished, the section between Ulm and Geislingen is only usable as a single track. This has led to cancellations and delays on the Ulm-Geislingen-Stuttgart railway line, and buses are in operation between Geislingen and Ulm to accommodate passengers.
Various rail lines in the region are experiencing disruptions, including bus replacements for some services. Travelers are advised to check the latest updates from Deutsche Bahn or local transportation websites for the most accurate and current information on disruptions and recovery times.
For real-time updates and adjustments to your travel plans, it's best to visit the Deutsche Bahn website or use their travel planner tool. Information about the disruptions can also be found online or in the Bahn app.
It's worth noting that the damage occurred in the Alb-Donau district and approximately 300 meters of the electrical line were damaged during the Tuesday incident. Many travelers had Ulm station as their final destination on Tuesday, and the disruptions are being reported by the railway company Deutsche Bahn.
