Spruced-Up DB Travel Center in Hamburg's Main Station Now Open for Business! 🚉
Reopened: DB Travel Centre Restarts Operations at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof - Main railway station in Hamburg welcomes back DB Travel Centre following reopening
Gear up! The Deutsche Bahn's travel center in the heart of Hamburg's bustling Main Station is back in action, fresh from a lucrative, year-long makeover. This spot is now a git-go grab bag of personal assistance and digital services, confirms the railway company themselves. Hailed as one of the busiest and most popular travel centers in the nation, it handles around 1,200 customers daily.
Don't fret about waiting in lines anymore! Thanks to a revamped call system, customers are now alerted to their approximate waiting time and can snag their waiting ticket on their trusty smartphones. Moreover, Deutsche Bahn's given a thought to travelers with mobility issues. Expect lower counters for wheelchair users, tactile strips on the floor for visually impaired individuals, and swifter service times. The spiffed-up travel center welcomes you with four counters in the entrance area and seven screens displaying travel tips.
Some services will be manned by external providers
Hamburg's Transport Senator, Anjes Tjarks (Greens), sees this swanky new travel center as a shining example of "customer-centric design, digital innovation, and accessibility for all." After all, she reasons, having a "central, easily accessible, and comfy point of contact for information, guidance, or help" at a pivotal transport hub like this is crucial.
Deutsche Bahn's intentions for the modernization of Germany's top 25 railway stations, such as the Main Station in Hamburg, are steamrolling ahead, with roughly €60 million to be spent on the revamp. However, the railway company has hinted at parting ways with travel centers at Heide, Husum, Niebuhl, and Sylt stations. From 2026, it's the external service providers who'll be taking the reins.
