This weekend sees a return of the Blockupy demonstrators to Frankfurt and as a result there will be changes to public transport services in the city centre.

From Thursday, 30th May 2am until Sunday, 2nd June, at 4am, the U-Bahn station “Willy-Brandt-Platz” will be closed.  The lines U1 to U5 and U8 will travel through without stopping.  The U5 will be running later into the night to ease changes at other stops.

Trams will not be running through the Altstadt.  Lines 11 and 12 will not run between Börneplatz and Hauptbahnhof.  The Ebbelwei-Expreß will not be running on Fronleichnam or on Saturday, and on Sunday will travel in both directions via Sachsenhausen. [Read more…]

Travel Information for Frankfurt am Main for Saturday, 19th May

Trams in FrankfurtThe travel information that was issued several days ago for Frankfurt am Main has proved not always to be effective.

On Thursday, one protest caused the station “Dom / Römer” to be closed, and today the protests have moved around the city causing various tram lines to close at one time or another.  The area around the main station (Hauptbahnhof) was also affected.

Since there is an approved march taking place in the city tomorrow, new travel information has been issued.

Between approximately 12 noon and 5pm the tram lines 11, 12, 16, 18 and 21 will be shortened even further as will bus route 36.

The stations “Willy-Brandt-Platz” and “Taunusanlage” on the U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines also remain closed.

Further stations may be closed on order of the police if deemed necessary.
