Demolition and new construction of the bus facility - buses still run
Bus and regional train services will continue to operate during the construction of the new ‘Amtsstraße’ bus facility. The construction process is planned in such a way that all lines can continue to serve the area.
From spring 2025, however, temporary effects on accessibility will unfortunately be unavoidable. From the end of March 2025 to the beginning of July 2026, the boarding and alighting areas will be moved to the outer edge of the bus facility and buses will travel anti-clockwise to allow passengers to board and alight there.
- During this period, the transition between the town centre and the Amtsstraße bus system area on one side and the Doberaner Weg bus system area and regional railway on the other side will unfortunately not be barrier-free. The reason: the existing pedestrian tunnel has to be closed for the construction of the second tunnel section.
- During this time, the pedestrian tunnel to the regional railway and the Doberaner Weg bus facility area can only be reached via the (non-barrier-free) stairs directly in front of the former McDonald's. The only barrier-free alternative is a diversion of around 300 metres via the Amtsstraße subway.
- For barrier-free access to the centre of Rahlstedt, we therefore recommend taking bus number 9 or 26 to the area, which can be bypassed via the Tonndorf stop (where you can change to the regional train), the Farmsen U1 stop or the Wandsbek-Markt U1 stop.
