Trains were stopped in the morning because at least three people wearing high-visibility vests were near the track bed. It was initially not clear whether the closure was related to meetings and protests by climate activists.

But it can be assumed that the closure will continue for a long time. The line between Hanover and Bremen was closed on Monday morning. It is expected to reopen by the end of the week. The route is closed because there are people on the tracks - wearinghigh-visibles vests.
