Disruptions Affect Schedule of Trains En Route to Sylt

A signal malfunction at Lehnshallig, between Niebuhr and Westerland, has caused disruptions to national trains to and from Sylt since early morning. This issue has affected regular train service, as well as car trains, and has necessitated a comprehensive repair to restore normal operations.

Initially, the railway had anticipated potential delays until September 20, but progress on the repairs has been encouraging, and regular train service is now expected to resume from tomorrow morning. Until then, single-track train operation remains in effect on the affected section, resulting in restrictions on train traffic.

The spokesperson for Deutsche Bahn stated that technicians are working diligently to resolve the issue. Trains were unable to run between 5:45 AM and 9:30 AM due to the malfunction, and the disruptions have continued since then. Despite these challenges, the railway has resumed train traffic with restrictions.

The malfunction at Lehnshallig is still ongoing, and restrictions on train traffic are expected to continue until tomorrow. The name of the specific spokesperson who informed about the signal failure was not mentioned; updates were given generally by a female spokesperson from Deutsche Bahn.

Passengers are advised to check the latest updates on the Deutsche Bahn website or mobile app for any changes in the train schedule. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
