Malfunctioning railway junction halts train services in South Brandenburg
The regional train service RE 10 between Doberlug-Kirchhain and Leipzig is currently experiencing a disruption due to a technical fault with the signal box on the Torgau-Uebigau section. This issue has caused partial or complete suspension of train services between Falkenberg (Elster) and Leipzig [4].
In response to this disruption, the German Railway Company (DB) has set up a bus replacement service between Torgau and Doberlug-Kirchhain. While explicit bus routes for this incident may not be readily available, passengers are advised to check real-time disruptions and alternative transport options such as bus services [1][2].
To access up-to-date information on disruptions and their impact on services, passengers can use the DB Regio Nordost online Bau-Newsletter subscription, the DB Regio Verkehrsinfo journey planner, or the DB Bauarbeiten app (available only in German) [1][2][3]. These resources provide construction (Baustellen) and disturbance (Störungen) information for specific lines, allowing users to enter travel dates and select lines (e.g., RE 10) to see live updates on disruptions.
Passengers are encouraged to check their connections in real-time to adapt their travel plans effectively during this network disruption. The disruption is expected to continue until Sunday morning and may affect the travel plans of regional rail passengers [1][2][4].
The technical fault occurred on the section of track between Torgau (Saxony) and Uebigau (Elbe-Elster district) [4]. The signal box, which controls train operations, was the source of the issue, but further details about the nature of the technical fault were not provided [4]. The disrupted route is responsible by the German Railway Company (DB) [4].
In summary, passengers traveling regionally between Doberlug-Kirchhain and Leipzig can expect disruptions over the weekend. Affected stations are those between Doberlug-Kirchhain and Leipzig on RE 10, notably sections including Torgau and Uebigau, with suspension between Falkenberg and Leipzig due to the signal box fault and related engineering works [4]. Alternative transport typically includes bus replacements, though specific routes for this incident are not listed; the DB journey planner may suggest these dynamically [1][2]. To check real-time information, passengers should use DB Regio Nordost’s online Baustellen & Störungen page, subscribe to the Bau-Newsletter, or consult the official DB journey planner and apps for up-to-date connection info and alternatives [2][3].
