Disruption in Rail Service between Hannover and Berlin expected to last until Monday afternoon.
A fire at a signal box in Lehrte near Hannover has caused significant disruption to train services between Hannover and Berlin, with delays and cancellations affecting both IC and ICE trains.
The incident occurred on Saturday, and the police suspect that it was a deliberate act of arson. However, the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined. The police's on-call duty team has secured evidence and removed the fuse box.
As a result, IC trains between Hannover and Magdeburg are being rerouted and are delayed by approximately 25 minutes. ICE and IC trains heading towards Berlin are also experiencing similar delays.
Some train connections in both directions have been cancelled, causing inconvenience for passengers. The railway company has attributed the incident to vandalism and is working to restore normal services as quickly as possible.
Trains from Berlin to Hannover are still arriving with slight delays. Passengers are advised to check their train's status before travelling and to allow extra time for their journey.
The police spokesperson has stated that results of the investigation are expected by Monday. In the meantime, passengers are urged to be patient and understanding as the railway company works to resolve the disruption caused by the fire.
