The summer line runs only at weekends during the school holidays with RegioShuttle railcars (about 33 minutes end to end) and is meant to gather demand data for a lasting concept. It was announced on 2 Apr 2026 as part of the state's mobility offensive (LOK Report, 13 Jul 2026). — Sources: https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/aus-den-laendern/mecklenburg-vorpommern-sommerlinie-verbindet-greifswald-und-lubmin-wieder-per-bahn.html · https://mvfaehrtgut.de/sommerlinie-greifswald-lubmin/ · https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/aus-den-laendern/mecklenburg-vorpommern-bahn-zurueck-nach-lubmin.html🚄 DB reopens modernised Ludwigslust–Parchim line (Germany)tag:eurotrack.ai,2026:f8237898:en2026-06-18T06:00:00ZDB InfraGO renewed the Ludwigslust–Parchim line in two construction phases (September to December 2023 as far as Neustadt-Glewe, August 2025 to April 2026 through to Parchim) and upgraded it for up to 100 km/h. The work covers a renewed track bed, adapted level crossings and accessible stops at Gross Laasch, Dütschow and Spornitz; the second phase fell within the closure for the Hamburg–Berlin corridor renewal.

The western Hamburg–Schwerin section reopened on 15 May 2026, and the entire line has been fully operational again since 14 June 2026. The source does not state a specific investment figure. Update (2 Jul 2026): On 30 June 2026 DB InfraGO completed the acceptance runs for the continuous train control system (LZB); between Büchen and Nauen, about 170 km, long-distance trains may therefore again run at 230 km/h, and the fastest connection between the two main stations takes 1 hour 47 minutes according to the timetable. In the edge sections at the Büchen and Nauen LZB centres the speed stays at 160 km/h for now, until a further software changeover is made in the newly built electronic interlockings there; final acceptance runs on secondary tracks are still under way, which do not affect the scheduled journey time and will later allow an extra time buffer. (LOK Report, 2 Jul 2026) Update (9 Jul 2026): DB InfraGO has modernised and made step-free the three Schleswig-Holstein stations Schwarzenbek, Müssen and Büchen; Schwarzenbek was symbolically opened on 8 July 2026. Platforms have been lengthened, with eight-car trains due from the end of 2027 (about 270 more seats per RE 1 train); the lifts at Müssen are expected in October 2026, and the state is contributing around EUR 4 million.

The building contains 270 m³ of timber, is nicknamed Roter Riese and generates its own power via rooftop solar. It is one element of an overall investment of over EUR 300 million from federal and DB funds; tracks, points, overhead wires and lighting across the port are to be renewed by the end of 2032, and ground was broken in April 2023 (LOK Report, 21 Apr 2026). — Sources: https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/aus-den-laendern/innovatives-estw-rostock-seehafen-roter-riese-geht-in-betrieb.html · https://bauprojekte.deutschebahn.com/p/rostock-seehafen/pdf🤝 Greifswald university hospital to acquire Klinikum Karlsburg for €25m (Germany)tag:eurotrack.ai,2026:247820cf:en2025-11-13T06:00:00ZThe Ministry of Health of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania approves the merger of Universitätsmedizin Greifswald with Klinikum Karlsburg.

The centerpiece was the switch to a digital interlocking (DSTW) for the Rostock-Bramow–Warnemünde section (21 switches, 66 signals) — the first DSTW in Germany also controlling long-distance rail traffic; commissioning happened in phases in September 2019 and finally in May 2020. Federal government, state, city and Deutsche Bahn invested approximately EUR 65 million in the project. — Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnhof_Warnem%C3%BCnde🚄 Bad Kleinen station formally handed over after rebuild (Germany)tag:eurotrack.ai,2026:0c1de193:en2019-05-09T06:00:00ZBad Kleinen station underwent a fundamental reconstruction starting in autumn 2016: the 137-year-old station building, engine shed and other structures were demolished in 2017 and replaced by two new island platforms reached via a pedestrian bridge with lifts.
