Deutsche Bahn: Hannovers OB sieht Bahn-Neubaustrecke nach Hamburg als „alternativlos“
Die Verkehrspolitiker von Union und SPD wollen den Weg für die geplante Neubaustrecke zwischen Hamburg und Hannover freimachen. Hannovers Oberbürgermeister Onay begrüßt den Entwurf.
Hannover's Green Party Mayor Belit Onay considers a new railway line between Hamburg and Hanover as "unavoidable". He described the recent developments in the ongoing dispute over the important northern railway route as "finally some good news from Berlin". Earlier, it was known that the responsible transport policymakers of the black-red coalition in the Bundestag were proposing a design for a new construction instead of an expansion.
The paper is presented to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur. The new construction has not yet been decided. The project is still being worked on, according to the coalition. The Transport Committee of the Bundestag is set to discuss the planned new construction route on September 23. The Bundestag plenary is scheduled to clear the way one day later so that the railway can further plan the new construction route concretely.
"The new construction route is unavoidable. Hanover and the entire north - whether urban or rural - will benefit from it," Onay said three days after the municipal elections in Lower Saxony. The Green politician added: "Notably, however, it was not possible for the Black-Red to manage this transparently and honestly before the municipal election."
