This includes information from the area of the network operator as well as information from the environment of the connected seaport terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As we previously mentioned in our newsletter, there are significant delays across the entire network due to the &#8220;Hamburg\/Hanover Quality Initiative&#8221; and the extension of the Hamburg\u2013Berlin overhaul. The detour routes remain heavily congested.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loading delays at the EUROKOMBI terminal of 10\u201312 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loading delay at EUROGATE Bremerhaven of approximately 5 hours due to widespread delays of incoming trains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signal failure on a detour route near Hagen (Hanover) from June 11, 2026, at 12:24 a.m. until 8:12 a.m., resulting in extended travel time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signal failure between Alfeld (Leine) and Freden (Leine) in both directions from June 10, 2026, at 5:15 p.m. until approximately June 11, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., resulting in extended travel time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damage to a third-party railway operator\u2019s locomotive between Angern-Rog\u00e4tz and Zielitz, on the Stendal\u2013Magdeburg line, from 3:38 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. on June 11, 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Police operation between Niederndodeleben and Magdeburg from June 10, 2026, 11:42 p.m. to June 11, 2026, 1:31 a.m., resulting in extended travel time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Police operation near Riedstadt-Goddelauf from June 10, 2026, 9:00 p.m. to June 11, 2026, 12:20 a.m., resulting in extended travel time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Person on the tracks at the Hanover hub, from June 10, 2026, 6:23 p.m. to June 10, 2026, 7:30 p.m., resulting in travel time delays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Point failure at Maschen marshalling yard from June 10, 2026, until June 10, 2026, 3:54 p.m., resulting in travel time delays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire department response due to a fire involving construction equipment on the tracks between Bremerhaven Central Station and Bremerhaven-Speckenb\u00fcttel from June 10, 2026, 2:17 p.m. to June 10, 2026, 3:43 p.m., resulting in travel time delays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overhead line damage near Wunstorf (detour route for the Quality Initiative) from June 9, 2026, at 11:26 a.m. until June 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., resulting in longer travel times. Repair work was delayed due to a shortage of personnel at DB Energie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dispositive inflow control in Hamburg has been in effect since March 10, 2026. Trains are being partially denied entry into the Hamburg infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dispositive inflow control has been in effect in Bremerhaven since May 10, 2026. Trains were turned away yesterday primarily due to the aforementioned fire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please note that the times listed refer only to the period until the disruption was resolved. It always takes considerably longer for the backlog of waiting trains to clear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a result of the delays, locomotive engineer resources are also becoming scarce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For those who are interested, we have included two additional links.

These delays have a significant impact on the stability and punctuality of our network. We are making daily efforts to minimize the impact on your bookings as much as possible. Our scheduling department will continue to inform you of any affected bookings on a case-by-case basis. In order to avoid incorrect tours, please check the availability of the loading units before acceptance inland or at the seaport and take our advice notes and order-related information into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Last-minute update regarding another construction project that will significantly impact travel times. We were notified after the agreed-upon deadlines about a construction project in Fulda, one of the main routes we use. The construction project will take place in two phases. The so-called &#8220;Nordkopf&#8221; will be closed from June 26, 2026, to July 10, 2026. A detour is available for traffic, but significant delays are expected along the route.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>During the second phase, the &#8220;S\u00fcdkopf&#8221; section will be closed from July 11, 2026, to July 30, 2026. There is currently no satisfactory alternative; of the approximately 200 trains affected, about 50% are expected to be canceled. Furthermore, the approved trains do not align with each other. An appeal has been filed regarding this matter. The outcome is still uncertain. Nearly all services are affected.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long-term construction work between Nuremberg &#8211; Regensburg &#8211; Passau from February 6, 2026 to December 15, 2026. During this period, there will be two different diversions with adjusted train lengths:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>February 6 &#8211; June 12 -&gt; 620 m via Landshut \/ Plattling -&gt; 23 cars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>June 12 \u2013 July 11 -&gt; 590 m via Salzburg -&gt; 22 cars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>July 12 \u2013 September 16 -&gt; 620 m via Landshut\/Plattling -&gt; 23 cars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>September 16 \u2013 timetable change -&gt; 590 m via Salzburg -&gt; 22 cars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Due to the longer distance and increased utilization of the alternative routes, delays are to be expected. Further restrictions cannot yet be fully predicted. We will inform you separately about these. This mainly affects our services to Hungary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the area of seaport terminals, we would like to point out that your cooperation as a potential terminal customer is also urgently desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With regard to deadlines, please refer to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.egim.eu\/en\/gtc\/\">General Terms and Conditions<\/a>.
