Traffic - S-Bahn trains do not stop at Landungsbrücken on New Year's Eve
Anyone wishing to marvel at the New Year's Eve fireworks in Hamburg harbour will not be able to take the S-Bahn directly to the Landungsbrücken stop on New Year's Eve. The S-Bahn lines S1 and S3 will not stop at Landungsbrücken between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., as announced by Deutsche Bahn on Wednesday.
The escalators at the station will be renovated until the end of January and access to the station will be restricted until then. To ensure the safety of the many expected passengers, trains will run through without stopping as a precautionary measure, according to DB. Passengers could alternatively board and alight at the Reeperbahn station, it said.

The Port of Hamburg, a major hub for international trade, relies heavily on the river Elbe and the city's railroad system for transportation. On New Year's Eve, the S-Bahn, a crucial component of Hamburg's public transport system, will bypass the Landungsbrücken jetty due to high traffic and safety concerns. Passengers planning to attend the fireworks display should consider disembarking at the Reeperbahn station instead, as the trains will not be stopping at Landungsbrücken between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., as per the German railroad's announcement. The renovation of the escalators at the Landungsbrücken station, scheduled to be completed by the end of January, has necessitated these changes. Despite the inconvenience, the German railroad is committed to ensuring the safety and smooth flow of traffic on New Year's Eve.
