Bahn: Bundling should keep restrictions low
A total of three railway construction sites are responsible for the timetable changes. The line between Ludwigsfelde and Niedergörsdorf in Brandenburg is being renovated, points are being replaced on the Leipzig-Halle line and the Hönebach tunnel between Thuringia and Hesse is also being renovated.
