Train tracks - Railroad delays on Hanover-Hamburg route: fixing required

Work done at the site is ongoing, hence, trains need to move slower through this area, according to a spokesperson from Bahn. Although the tracks haven't been completely shut down, time delays of approximately 20 minutes are still in place. The spokesperson couldn't initially confirm how long repairs will last.
