'''Given restrictions on international travel during the coronavirus outbreak, certain journeys may not operate.''' At present, only the April departures have been cancelled but further cancellations are possible. Details should be checked on the [http://www.snalltaget.se/en/destinations/berlin Snälltåget] site.
As a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the ferry service between Sassnitz Fährhafen and Trelleborg has been withdrawn, apparently permanently, from 14 March 2020. In recent years the ferry has been used principally by passengers, with freight going via Rostock and other routes.


This branch off the Stralsund – Sassnitz line accesses the train ferry to Trelleborg, Sweden. It is used during the spring and summer by the night train between Malmö and Berlin, which runs more frequently in 2020 than in recent years. Trains run as follows:
A daily train service between Berlin Hbf and Malmö C was advertised to operate on the following dates, but can no longer do so via Sassnitz:


* Northbound (''D300''): Depart Berlin Hbf 19:00 on [12 April CANCELLED], 3 and 24 May, 14, 16 and 18 June then <b>daily</b> from 22 June - 30 August. Also from Berlin Hbf at 11:00 on 17 May (''D304'')

On occasional dates in 2020, reports indicate that the train will run via the ferry to/from Rostock instead of Sassnitz - see DE20/104 below.
On occasional dates in 2020 the train was expected to be diverted via Rostock.  When international rail traffic can resume it is possible that it will run via Rostock, but this is not certain. For further information see the [http://www.snalltaget.se/en/destinations/berlin Snälltåget] site.

Revision as of 17:06, 8 April 2020

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 15 December 2019 to 12 December 2020, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information. Map references relate to the 2017 issue of the Schweers+Wall Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland.

Obscure services

Waren (Müritz) (Lalendorf Ost) – Plaaz

[205 Nord] (15B3-15C3) DE20/101

This route is normally used by IC and ICE trains between Berlin and Rostock, which are not booked to call at Güstrow. RE5 services run via Güstrow so do not use this route.

From 8 March, a two-hourly IC service operates daily between Dresden Hbf, Berlin Hbf and Rostock Hbf via this route. Northbound departures are at 58 minutes past each even hour from Waren (Müritz) between 08:58 and 20:58, and southbound trains are at 21 minutes past each odd hour from Rostock Hbf from 06:21 until 18:21, plus 20:23 FSX.

Additional long-distance IC and ICE services operate over this route, particularly in the summer months. These are shown in Table 205 Nord of the DB Kursbuch.

Stralsund Rügendamm – Wüstenfelde (Abzw Srg)

[190] (6A1) DE20/102

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. The overnight trains between Malmö and Berlin (see DE20/103) normally run this way, except when booked to run via Rostock Seehafen (see DE20/104), but have reversed at Stralsund Hbf some years.

Lietzow (Abzw Borchtitz) – Sassnitz Fährhafen [Mukran]

(7C2) DE20/103

As a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the ferry service between Sassnitz Fährhafen and Trelleborg has been withdrawn, apparently permanently, from 14 March 2020. In recent years the ferry has been used principally by passengers, with freight going via Rostock and other routes.

A daily train service between Berlin Hbf and Malmö C was advertised to operate on the following dates, but can no longer do so via Sassnitz:

  • Northbound (D300): Depart Berlin Hbf 19:00 on [12 April CANCELLED], 3 and 24 May, 14, 16 and 18 June then daily from 22 June - 30 August. Also from Berlin Hbf at 11:00 on 17 May (D304)
  • Southbound (D301): Depart Malmö C 17:00 on [4 and 8 April CANCELLED], 13 and 20 May, 13, 15 and 17 June then daily from 21 June - 29 August;

On occasional dates in 2020 the train was expected to be diverted via Rostock. When international rail traffic can resume it is possible that it will run via Rostock, but this is not certain. For further information see the Snälltåget site.

Kavelstorf - Rostock Seehafen

(123A1-B4) DE20/104

The only northbound journey by this route has now been cancelled owing to the coronavirus outbreak. At the time of writing (mid-March), both southbound journeys are still shown as running on the Snälltåget website. The site should be checked for up-to-date information on which, if any, trains will actually run.

This connection from the Berlin - Rostock main line to the train-ferry berth at Rostock Seehafen is to be used by the night train between Berlin and Malmö on a few dates in 2020 instead of the route via Sassnitz (DE20/103, above), with the train ferry being used between Rostock and Trelleborg.

D1 Cancelled D302 21:00 Berlin Hbf - Malmö C
D2 WO D301 17:00 Malmö C - Berlin Hbf

D1: 7 April only CANCELLED

D2: 29 April and 13 May
