Railway chaos in Dingolfing: damage to overhead lines leads to closure!
There have been significant disruptions to rail traffic in Bavaria in the last few days. The route from Landshut to Plattling has been closed since Tuesday morning, August 14, 2025, due to damage to the overhead line between Dingolfing and Schwaigen. Deutsche Bahn technicians are already on site and are working hard on the repair, which is fortunately progressing faster than expected. Loud PNP Normal operations are scheduled to resume on Thursday from 5:30 a.m.
The background to the disruption is a broken supporting cable on an overhead line, which caused problems on the Munich-Landshut railway line on Monday evening. This broken rope not only caused the closure, but also caused a fire on the embankment that had to be extinguished by the fire department. Part of the rope landed on the overhead line and the other on the ground, causing further delays. Passengers from Regensburg and Plattling had to change in Landshut, while only the S-Bahn ran between Freising and Munich. Large-capacity taxis were used to transport travelers until early Tuesday morning, reports said South Germans.
Replacement transport ensures mobility
During the closure of the railway line, an extensive replacement bus service has been set up to support passengers. Deutsche Bahn asks all passengers to inform themselves about the DB Navigator or the Deutsche Bahn website to inform you about current connections and possible alternatives. It is particularly important to pay attention to the real-time information in order to be informed about the timetables at all times.
Fortunately, the damage to the overhead line has already been completely repaired, and the technicians' quick response shows that Deutsche Bahn has a good knack for resolving such incidents quickly. Travelers should still be prepared to be flexible with their plans as there could be further delays before things return to full normality.
