Future of the cannon railway: 670 passengers daily and big plans!
Homberg, Deutschland - The reactivation of the cannon railway between Homberg and Treysa could significantly improve the mobility offer in North Hesse. The North Hessian local transport network (NVV) predicts that up to 670 passengers are expected on the route every day. This number is the result of a comprehensive potential analysis that was commissioned last year. But before the disused railway line is revived, detailed cost estimates are necessary, which are currently particularly important due to the increasing construction prices, such as HNA reported.
investments and opportunities
The estimated investment costs for reactivating the cannon railway are between 70 and 90 million euros, with the lower sum for commuting between Homberg and Schwalmstadt. The upper limit also includes electrification of the route to Frankfurt. However, these specific financing needs are a prerequisite for receiving government funding. Sabine Herms, spokeswoman for the NVV, emphasizes: "Without funding, reactivation would not be financially to be financed." This illustrates how crucial a positive cost-benefit calculation is for the project.
In addition to the passenger numbers, the NVV will also examine the links with bus traffic and the choice of location for new stops. Six new stations are to be built in Leimsfeld, Frielendorf, Am Silbersee, Wernswig, Sondheim and Homberg. This initiative could greatly improve the connection of the district town of Homberg (EFZE) and the popular holiday area of Frielendorf, which is what the citizens' initiative "saves the North Hessian Kanonenbahn e.V." is supported, which is committed to a better infrastructure in rural areas. Further information on the initiative and a final flyer can be found on your website Kanonenbahn Nordhessen .| Details | |
