Timetable chaos in Saxony: trains are canceled between Eilenburg and Falkenberg!
In a current announcement, Deutsche Bahn provides information about timetable changes in Saxony that affect both commuters and travelers. On October 12, 2025, there will be train cancellations between Eilenburg and Falkenberg (Elster) that will last from 6:00 a.m. to probably 6:00 p.m. The reason given for the disruption is a defective signal box, which means that trains on line S4 cannot run on this route. However, the railway has set up a replacement bus service to offer travelers an alternative option. Passengers are urged to find out about their connections before traveling, either via the Deutsche Bahn website, the DB Navigator app or by calling 0341 2669 6622.
If we look at the situation in context, it is noticeable that Deutsche Bahn's punctuality in 2023 was around 64% of long-distance trains. In comparison, DB Regio's trains performed significantly better in the first quarter of 2023, with punctuality between 92 and 93%. The reasons identified for the unpunctuality included construction sites, renovations and disruptions to vehicles as well as control and safety technology, which highlights the current challenges in the DB network.
