Introduction
This list is based on the timetable in force until 10 December 2011, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
In the heading to each entry the map reference for the line in the Schweers+Wall Eisenbahn Atlas (2007/2008 edition) is shown, in italic, in addition to the reference to M.G. Ball's European Railway Atlas.
Obscure services
Saline – Westen
[10007] (16A3, 9B3) DE13/151
This is a branch off the line from Westanleger to Wangerooge. Passenger trains run to/from Westen when required by pre-booked parties staying at the Youth Hostel or other accommodation there. During the summer season, excursions run between Wangerooge and Westen: see DB's Wangerooge website and search ("Suche") for "Westen" during the season.
Bremen-Sebaldsbrück – Bremen Hbf (via Abzw. Vahr)
[380] (16B1, not shown, 9C2-9B2) DE13/152
Trains from the Hannover line to platforms 1, 2 or 3 at Bremen Hbf may use this spur, which crosses from the north side of the line to the south side by passing under both the main Hannover line and the Osnabrück line. They may, alternatively, use crossovers at the approach to Bremen Hbf. The route via Abzw. Vahr has been used by RE trains from Hannover to Bremen and also by IC trains from Hannover to Oldenburg. Trains in the opposite direction normally use the flat junction at Hastedt but, if the departure signal at Bremen Hbf platforms 1, 2 or 3 shows speed restriction 4 (= 40 km/h), that may indicate use of this route. There is no passenger use of the connections between Bremen-Hemelingen and Bremen Hbf via Abzw. Vahr known to the compilers.
Bremen avoiding line: Sagehorn – Dreye (Abzw. Bremen-Gabelung)
[120, 385] (16B1, 9D1-9C3) DE13/153
Most trains between Hamburg and Osnabrück call at Bremen Hbf, but this route enables those that do not to avoid a lengthy detour.

Lehrte – Sehnde
[323] (26B2, 122D4) DE13/161
East of Lehrte, the lines from Braunschweig and Hildesheim join with the line from Gifhorn in a complex flying junction. Trains from towards Braunchweig or Hildesheim dive under the Gifhorn line and follow the original alignment of the Braunschweig line. Tains towards Lehrte diverge to the north and fly over the Gifhorn line about ½ km further north.
As an exception to this, a train from Hildesheim that terminates at Lehrte platform 3 will use the south side of the flying junction in the inbound direction:
SSuX | S3 34342 | Hildesheim Hbf – 07:14 Sehnde – Lehrte |
Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe (Abzw Siekweg) – Göttingen east side platforms
[351] (40B3 not shown, 55A2-55B2) DE13/162
This 2km link line leaves the Kassel Schnellfahrstrecke south of Göttingen and then crosses the Eichenberg line before joining the eastern platforms at Göttingen. It is normally used by northbound trains stopping at platform 4 at Göttingen. The only such train booked to use platform 4 in the current timetable is
SSuX | ICE-A272 | Zürich Hbf – 22:43 Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe – Hamburg Hbf |
