Train travelers in and around Dresden have to prepare for a weekend full of train cancellations and replacement services. From 4:00 a.m. on Friday until 4:00 a.m. on Monday, the main station will be completely closed due to construction work, as announced by Deutsche Bahn. No trains will be running at the junction during this time.
Replacement services to get passengers to their destinations
Long-distance services to and from Berlin and Leipzig will end and begin in Dresden-Neustadt. The main station is served by regular local services and an additional replacement service with a special streetcar line 26, which runs between Mickten and Plauen. There will be replacement bus services to and from Prague between Neustadt and Usti nad Labem in the Czech Republic. This will extend the journey time by around an hour.
Regional services and the S-Bahn will be canceled on all lines between the Dresden stations of Neustadt, Reick, Plauen and Friedrichstadt. Passengers there will also have to make use of alternatives on regular local services or the replacement services provided by buses and streetcar 26.
