The replacement service due to the closure of Dresden Central Station has started. The established connections with streetcars and buses went into operation as planned this morning, according to a spokesperson for the Upper Elbe Transport Association (VVO). There were isolated delays due to the weather conditions, but overall the replacement services worked well.
No train service at the main station until Monday morning
The main station has been closed since the morning. No trains will be running there until 4.00 a.m. on Monday morning. During this time, long-distance services to and from Berlin and Leipzig will end and begin in Dresden-Neustadt. Regular local services will continue to the main station and additional replacement services will be provided by 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.
