Obscure services
Waren (Müritz) (Lalendorf Ost) – Plaaz
[205 Nord] (ERA-E 44B3; ERA-R 85C1; S+W 15B3-15C3) DE22/101
This route is used by IC trains between Berlin and Rostock, which are not booked to call at Güstrow. RE5 services run via Güstrow so do not use this route.
A two-hourly IC service operates daily between Dresden Hbf, Berlin Hbf and Rostock Hbf or Warnemünde via this route. Northbound departures are at 59 minutes past each even hour from Waren (Müritz) between 06:59 and 20:59, and southbound trains are at 21 minutes past each even hour from Rostock Hbf from 06:21 until 18:21. Additional services are at 07:59 SuX from Waren (Müritz) (IC94 Wien Hbf – Rostock Hbf) and 20:21 SX from Rostock Hbf (IC95 Rostock Hbf – Wien Hbf).
Additional long-distance IC and ICE services operate over this route during the summer months. These are shown in the summer edition of Table 205 Nord of the DB Kursbuch.
Stralsund Rügendamm – Wüstenfelde (Abzw Srg)
[190] (ERA-E 44C4; ERA-R 86B3; S+W 6A1) DE22/102
This east to south curve is used by trains between the island of Rügen and the Pasewalk or Neubrandenburg lines, if not booked to call at Stralsund Hbf.
With the re-routeing of the overnight trains between Malmö and Berlin to run via Padborg there is no longer any regular passenger use of this curve.
The curve is used occasionally by excursions. Look particularly for trips from Berlin to the Störtebeker Festspiele, held on Rügen throughout the summer each year, although it is currently unclear whether the 2022 event will be going ahead.
Papendorf (Dalwitzhof) – Rostock-Kassebohm (Abzw Rostock Warnowbrücke West)
[100] (S+W 123 B3) DE22/103
This south to east route enables trains to run between the Schwerin and Stralsund lines without having to reverse at Rostock Hbf.
It is used in July and August by a pair of Urlaubs Express services between Lörrach Hbf and Ostseebad Binz.
D1 | FO | UEX1878 | Lörrach Hbf ARZ – 07:02 (SO) Hamburg Hbf – Ostseebad Binz |
D2 | SO | UEX1879 | Ostseebad Binz – 19:32 Rostock-Kassebohm – Lörrach Hbf ARZ |
