  The free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is a user facility delivering soft X-ray radiation. Starting from 2014, a second beam line for user operation, FLASH2, has been commissioned. It uses the same accelerating modules as the initial FLASH beam line (FLASH1) and the beam is deflected into a separate beam line downstream the linac. In the region, where the FLASH2 beam is extracted, both beam lines are close, the angle in between is 6.5 degrees. It has been observed, that steering dipoles in the extraction area, have an influence on both beam lines. Thus steering the orbit in one beam line, perturbs the orbit in the other beam line. This perturbation can significantly degrade the SASE energy in the other beam line. We have found a solution to this problem based the combination of local orbit bumps. The crosstalk from one steerer is corrected using additional steerers in the other beam line. This concept has already been tested at FLASH and has proven to work sufficiently well.
