Connections to Stralsund (RE3) and Rostock (RE5) were affected. It is no longer possible to board other passengers or take a bicycle with you.
A railway spokesman said there were individual, very heavily occupied trains, so that travelers had to stay behind. This applies above all to connections in tourist regions. The railway uses additional trains to the Baltic Sea during the holiday season.
