Discharge in Schleswig-Holstein: rail traffic threatens!

Schleswig, Deutschland - Schleswig-Holstein is under pressure! The lack of soft, an essential component of the rail infrastructure, endangers rail operations massively. In particular on the heavily frequented routes such as Elmshorn-Westerland and Kiel-Neumünster, travelers have to expect delays again and again. According to the Pro Bahn passenger association, there has been a decline of around 50 percent of the course in Germany since the 1990s, which now also makes Schleswig-Holstein hard. The Federal Minister of Economic Affairs, Claus Ruhe Madsen, demands more investments from the federal government to renovate the ailing infrastructure and reduce delays that continue to burden the already weak route network, such as ndr.de reported.

The course problem is not only a logistical annoyance, but also has consequences for the connection between tourism and the economy. Madsen emphasizes that without a sufficient number of soft diversions and flexibility in rail traffic are hardly possible. Deutsche Bahn plans to invest massive sums in the rail infrastructure by 2027, but experts like Jan Niemeyer express concerns about the actual implementations. Future projects should also include electrification and new construction of the course in order to improve punctuality. However, immediate measures are necessary to regain the trust of passengers, after the Pandemie-related declines have influenced the use of public transport, as schleswig-holstein.de reported.

plan to improve regional traffic

As part of the new nationwide local transport plan (LNVP), the public transport is aimed at optimizing. Future measures include the introduction of battery -operated vehicles and the reactivation of certain routes and train stations. However, these initiatives are on the brink as long as the course problem is not tackled. In order to regain the lost passengers and increase the quality, a comprehensive renovation of the infrastructure and improved planning are essential. The goal is clear: a flexible and reliable rail traffic for Schleswig-Holstein's citizens and visitors!
