Carlos :) Train issues

Posted by on

Attention! From 25th March to 21st April on the section Berlin Hbf. - Frankfurt (Oder) there are difficulties in rail traffic. The journey takes place with a change to a substitute bus with a valid train ticket.

We were originally going from Berlin to Gdansk but this train issue seems that it could add up to a few hours so now thinking we should change and go to Toron first, then Gdansk and Warsaw to break up the journey? I know it is back tracking but it seems it might be less stressful if there are more delays.
Originally 4 days Berlin, 4 days Gdansk, 2 days Toron, 3 days Warsaw, 3 days Wroclaw and then Prague

Now maybe
4 days Berlin, 2 days Toron, 4 days Gdansk, 3 days Warsaw. 3 days Wroclaw then Prague

Any thoughts?

Is it really delaying that much. I see a 36 minute ride on the substitute bus then back on the waiting connecting train to Frankfurt (Oder). Does the delay mean missing the train to Gdansk?

Thanks for responding, so my date is April 16th and I know that generally, this might be a little early, but the direct train is 5 hours 30 mins and now I can only find 7 hours plus. Am I missing something? Plus it says there is only a 5-minute connection!

Yes, they are running a replace bus from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) and it takes longer than a train. The bus scheduled to meet the EC train continuation to Gdansk, so 5 minutes is simply the time they figure to unload the bus and get all the people on the train.

I guess it's up to you how you want to adjust your itinerary.

Thanks Sam. That was very helpful. I could not figure out how we could make it in 5 mins :) I will stick to my original plan :)
