Important timetable changes: train cancellations between Kassel and Melsungen!
Anyone traveling by train in the Hesse area next weekend should dress warmly - but not just because of the weather. Current construction work is causing problems for regional transport and is bringing with it some changes. From Friday, June 27th to Sunday, June 29th, there will be timetable deviations and train cancellations on several routes in the North Hessian Transport Association (NVV) area.
The following regional train lines are affected: The RE5 (Bad Hersfeld - Bebra - Melsungen - Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe - Kassel main station) and the RB5 (Fulda - Bad Hersfeld - Bebra - Melsungen - Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe - Kassel main station). The RegioTram line RT5, which connects Melsungen with Kassel, is not spared from the construction work. Particularly important for passengers: They have to expect delays, which can extend the travel time accordingly. However, the NVV also has a solution ready - two RB5 trips will also serve all stops between Kassel and Melsungen on Saturday evening.
Tips for travelers
For those who rely on the rails, there are several ways to find out about the changes. The NVV website nvv.de/fahrplanauskunft and the NVV app keep passengers up to date. The NVV service is also available at the telephone number 0800-939-0800 Available daily between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m., and even until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
These measures are part of a series of construction measures that are currently being carried out in the NVV area. Other lines, such as the RE2 (Kassel - Erfurt) or the RB83 (Göttingen - Kassel), are also experiencing restrictions that temporarily affect departure times. A detailed overview of these changes is available here hna.de to find.
Additional challenges in rail transport
This construction work comes at a time when rail traffic in southern Hesse was already paralyzed due to a bomb being discovered on Wednesday morning. Such incidents only add to the confusion and frustration of travelers who rely on the train's punctuality and reliability.
Overall, anyone traveling on the NVV trains at the weekend should find out about the current situation in advance and allow enough time. It remains to be hoped that the construction work will proceed quickly and smoothly so that travelers will soon be able to reach their destinations again without major detours.
