Major Rail Line in Bavaria to Shut Down for Months Amid Extensive RenovationsA critical railway corridor in Bavaria, linking Nuremberg and Regensburg, is set to undergo a comprehensive overhaul that will significantly disrupt train services over several months. This initiative forms part of a broader effort to modernize and upgrade one of the region's busiest and most strategically important railway routes. During this interval, Deutsche Bahn will carry out extensive upgrades to the rail infrastructure. Major transit hubs such as Regensburg Central Station, Straubing, Plattling, and Passau will see reduced rail service throughout the project. The initiative underscores ongoing efforts to enhance Germany's rail infrastructure, prioritizing capacity improvements and passenger comfort on high-traffic corridors.
