Bus rerouting during construction at S5 & S6 in Lörrach
In the coming weeks, passengers travelling on the SBB Germany lines between Basel, Weil am Rhein, Lörrach, and Steinen should expect significant changes to their schedules due to construction work on the Wiesentalbahn and Gartenbahn.
DB InfraGO is carrying out the construction work, which involves upgrading switches, overhead lines, and installing a new signal box in the Basel to Steinen area. The work is causing disruptions, detours, and rail replacement services, particularly affecting the S5 and S6 lines.
From July 6 to 10, evening S6 trains between Basel SBB and Lörrach Hbf will be cancelled. During this period, a replacement bus service will be set up for S6 trains and for stops not served in Weil and Lörrach, as Riehen station will be fully closed. Passengers are advised to check current timetables online before starting their journey due to these disruptions.
From July 14 to 21, the S5 will be completely closed between Weil am Rhein and Lörrach, with many S6 trains being rerouted via Weil am Rhein during the period when Riehen station is closed. A replacement bus service will also be implemented for these trains and certain stops during this period.
Moreover, Riehen station will be fully closed from July 31 to September 14. Passengers are encouraged to visit the official railway website, contact customer service, or visit the local train station for printed or digital timetables that reflect the changes.
For precise information regarding the timetable changes for SBB Germany lines S5 and S6 during the construction work from July 2021 to September 2021, it is recommended to check directly with the official German railway website or contact their customer service.
These changes are common during such construction periods, with railways implementing temporary schedules, rerouting trains, or using replacement bus services. These changes are usually well-documented on the rail company's website or at train stations.
By following these steps, passengers should be able to find the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding any changes to their travel plans.
