Hanover (dpa) – Embankment fires have at times hampered long-distance Deutsche Bahn traffic in Lower Saxony. The connection between Hanover and Magdeburg was restricted on Friday morning, as a railway spokeswoman said. A cable was damaged by the fire between Magdeburg and Helmstedt. The long-distance trains had to be diverted for almost an hour before the route was released again.
At Eschede (Celle district) an embankment fire for restrictions between Hanover and Hamburg had already been created on Thursday evening. According to Deutsche Bahn, the route had to remain completely closed for more than three hours – the long-distance trains affected were waiting at stations or were diverted. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), there is a high risk of vegetation and forest fires throughout the weekend.
