Headline: Bus Replacement Service Temporarily Affects RB110 Line between Leipzig and Döbeln from August 5th to 7th, 2025
From August 5th to 7th, 2025, the RB110 line (Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn) between Leipzig and Döbeln will be served by a bus replacement service. This means that during this period, regular train services on this route will be suspended and replaced by buses.
Impact on Specific Departure Times:
All scheduled train departures on the RB110 line between Leipzig and Döbeln during these dates will be replaced by bus departures. Departure times for the replacement buses may differ slightly from the usual train schedule to accommodate road conditions and stops.
- On August 5th, bus replacement service will be in operation for departures from Leipzig towards Grimma upper station at 23:27 and from Grimma upper station towards Leipzig at 23:06.
- On August 6th, bus replacement service will be in operation for a departure from Leipzig towards Grimma upper station at 0:35.
- No bus replacement service is mentioned for departures from Grimma upper station towards Döbeln during the specified dates.
Impact on Stations:
Trains will not stop at the usual railway stations between Leipzig and Döbeln. Instead, passengers should board the replacement buses at designated bus stops near or at the regular train stations. Some smaller stations might not have direct bus stops; passengers may be required to use nearby bus stops or alternate stations.
Recommendations for Passengers:
- Check for updated departure times and exact bus stop locations before travel.
- Allow extra travel time as bus journeys might take longer than the train.
- Confirm if your specific departure time is covered by the replacement bus service.
