Hello group. I have a reservation for ICE177 that was to depart from Berlin Südkreuz on 18 April at 15:23. I see the station is undergoing construction and the train isn’t stopping there now. Can I use my ticket and board at Berlin Hbf instead. My destination is Prague.

Yes you can. You have a ticket from "BERLIN" to "PRAGUE" good for 18.4.2025 (and probably also 19.4. Check in the upper right). Any train binding has been lifted.

Thank you so much for the reply. I’ve tried getting an answer from IDOS and DB and they weren’t helpful at all.

Thank you Mark, you are correct, it is EC177
I arrive in Berlin via Icelandair from Reykjavik. My arrival is at 13:05 and I was going to take the S-9 to Berlin Hbf. I’m familiar with the terminal so I can find my at around there easily. I will just have a carry on so
I don’t have to wait at baggage claim. Originally I was going to take the S45 to Südkreuz because it’s less congested. I’m happy I checked now and saw that the station is under construction. I was concerned I had to change my ticket to reflect departure from Hbf but it seems it is ok as it is currently booked. Thank you for the reply

They assume that you know how train travel works...
