The Bremen-Vegesack Bremen railway line connects the northern parts of Bremen with the city centre. It was opened in 1862, is 17 km (11 mi) long and fully electrified with two tracks. The line shares its tracks with the Bremen-Bremerhaven railway line between Bremen-Burg and Bremen Hauptbahnhof.

The line mostly carries commuter trains; RegionalBahn double deck trains in push-pull operation with Class 111 engines run in 30-minute intervals on the line. Some trains continue past Bremen Hauptbahnhof toward Verden.
