Rail chaos in Mering: night work on November 18th. with major timetable changes!

Deutsche Bahn is facing a series of construction works that will begin next week and will have a significant impact on train traffic in the region. On November 18, 2025, DB InfraGO AG will carry out overnight construction work to maintain the operational safety of the affected route sections. This specifically affects stations W14W10 and W14W11 at Mering station, where a large switch section change is planned. The work is scheduled for the period from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., as mering.de reports.

However, DB InfraGO AG's construction work has been extended by another day. The work is now scheduled to last until November 19, 2025. This unexpected extension could lead to significant schedule deviations. Affected passengers must be prepared for the fact that the current timetables are not comprehensive and many changes can no longer be incorporated into the electronic information systems in a timely manner, as the BRB explains.

Schedule changes and restrictions

The construction work is putting a strain on the timetable, especially on the Chiemgau-Inntal network. This results in partial cancellations and replacement bus services on several important connections. For example, the route between Munich Central Station and Rosenheim is severely affected, with partial cancellations between Munich Central Station and Grafing and between Rosenheim and Grafing, where buses are used. These changes apply from November 15th to 18th. There is also a rail replacement service (SEV) between Holzkirchen and Rosenheim on the Holzkirchen - Rosenheim connection, and the stops on the Munich - Rosenheim - Salzburg route are also affected, which many passengers will regret.

Overall, commuters and travelers have to prepare for significant restrictions. The BRB has announced that real-time information about disruptions and construction sites will be made available via Facebook and WhatsApp in order to provide passengers with the best possible information. Caution is advised as the published timetables may still be subject to changes, as the BRB emphasizes.

Major construction sites until 2030

The current construction work is part of a broader initiative to modernize the rail network in Germany, which is expected to last until 2036. These major construction sites will lead to numerous route closures and timetable changes in the coming years. ADAC informs that the general renovation includes more than 40 important sections that will be closed for several months. Leading routes such as Hamburg – Berlin are particularly affected, where a complete closure is planned until April 30, 2026.

It is therefore crucial for travelers and commuters to inform themselves about these developments in good time in order to develop alternative travel plans. The details of the individual construction sites are available on the relevant transport company websites.
