At times there are no trains between Hanover and Bremen. At least three activists wearing high-visibility vests were near the track bed, police said.
The closure was lifted shortly before 8 a.m., but there could still be delays during the morning. According to the police, the closure was related to a protest by climate activists at the Mercedes factory in B Remen. On Monday morning, several people chained themselves to the tracks to stop car transports. The regional trains on the route were temporarily stopped.
