The "Intercity Berlin" between Amsterdam and Berlin seems to be somewhat disrupted at the moment due to engineering work.

Does anyone know if there is any comprehensive information on where it is and isn't running for the next week or so?

I can puzzle things out with journey planners but it's not easy. Also I know that unlike the UK, travel planners will happily show trains that they already know won't run due to rail replacements, though maybe not at this short notice.

I found an NS web page that suggests that work in the Netherlands will be over on the 10th, but disruption on the German side seems to continue beyond that.

Also, the European Sleeper seems to be still avoiding Amsterdam up to at least Monday next week.

There are major engineering works between Hannover and Amsterdam until late October.

From 23/9 until 10/10 replacement bus service between Osnabrück and Deventer

From 11/10 until 27/10 trains are cancelled between Hannover and Rheine with stops in Bünde cancelled.

In addition to what's mentioned above: during the works in the Netherlands this week (no trains around Wierden, also domestic traffic is bustituted), there is one IC Berlin in each direction diverted via Emmerich. It may not show up in journey planners as in Emmerich it's overtaken by an ICE so changing in Oberhausen is faster.

Probably has to with capacity constraints in Amersfoort this week, as several tracks are out of service due to replacement of escalators. These works are completed on Friday, but from Saturday till Monday Haarlem - Leiden is closed due to engineering works and that's the route European Sleeper takes to Amsterdam.

Thank you - much better than trying to work it all out by playing with travel planners.

I did find that one! Though I think only by asking for direct trains.
