Massive railway closure between Koblenz and Cologne: Travelers in need!

Massive railway closure between Koblenz and Cologne: Travelers in need!

The pre -Christmas period brings massive restrictions for train drivers in the region between Koblenz and Cologne. Due to the necessary construction work, Deutsche Bahn announces a total closure of the much frequented route between Bonn and Oberwinter. This begins on December 20 at 9 p.m. and will continue until February 17, 2025. All long -distance trains between Koblenz and Cologne are diverted, which affects numerous holds in Andernach, Remagen, Bonn Hauptbahnhof and Cologne Central Station. Travelers have to adjust to longer travel times and additional bypasses, such as 24rhein

construction work and timetable changes

Before the major closures, there is construction work in the Cologne/Troisdorf area from the end of November to mid -December 2024, which also lead to timetable changes. Sub -failures and diversions occur on the affected lines, including RE 8 and RB 27. These changes also affect stops such as Cologne Messe/Deutz and Niederdollendorf. A replacement traffic is set up for certain routes to support passengers as best as possible on the website VRS.de noted.

travelers in the region should definitely plan more time and find out about the current timetables in advance, because the effects of the construction work will be severely affected by both long-distance and regional transport. The total blocking could also extend over a longer period of time, which makes planning even more difficult for the holidays.
