Depends where they arrive *to*.  It’s a very important leg connecting 
east and west so if someone arrives for instance at SXF and has 
accommodation in the western city, chances are they are affected 
(although they should take a train then which are *not* affected).

In order to get from TXL or SXF to Alexanderplatz you shouldn’t need 
to use that part of the network though.
