Long-Distance Train Hiccups Persist Near Bernau - Still Causing Delays on ICE Line 21
Ongoing Challenges in Maintaining Efficient Long-haul Travel Services Remain Unresolved - Persisting Disruptions in Distance Remain Unsolved
Hey there!
The ol' long-distance traffic on the ICE line 21 (Ostseebad Binz to Berlin) is still dealing with a bit of a snag, thanks to a pesky issue that cropped up near Bernau, Germany. Deutsche Bahn, Germany's national railway company, has been tackling this issue since a mysterious fire flared up near a track in the Barnim district of Berlin (yep, that's right, Berlin, Germany) on Monday evening.
This fire caused some serious cable damage and, unfortunately, we still don't know the exact cause. As a result, travelers on the ICE line 21 should be prepared for delays of up to 20 minutes. The good news is that the detour has been lifted, and trains are now running without any interruptions.
But wait, there's more! As of June 19, 2025, travelers on this route can expect a delay of roughly 25 minutes due to these ongoing troubles[1]. So, if you're planning a journey on this line, be sure to factor in some extra time or make any necessary adjustments to your schedule. The disruptions caused by this incident are still lingering, and there may still be some unexpected delays[1][2].
Stay tuned for updates, folks! Safe travels!
