RE47 will remain closed in 2025: Regiobahn establishes a connection between Remscheid and Düsseldorf!

A big change for commuters and travelers: The RE47 will not run between Remscheid and Düsseldorf in 2025. It was actually planned that the train will run regular again next year, but the regiobahn has now decided that this would not be possible.

The operator of the connection, the regiobahn, has recently announced that the line will continue to be suspended. A replacement bus will continue to operate the route. The reasons for this decision are complex: on the one hand, there are not enough moving trains available, which prevents the return connection. On the other hand, extensive construction work is planned between May and November 2025, which would not allow the train operation anyway.

changes in the transport network

The regiobahn has decided to give up the connection entirely to simplify the planning for the next few months. The construction work that will take place during this period is necessary to modernize the infrastructure and to ensure security on the route. These measures not only affect the RE47, but also have an impact on other lines in the region.

commuter will have to prepare for restrictions and changes in the coming years. Several lines could be affected, which means additional challenges for passengers. The replacement bus, on the other hand, is intended to ensure that at least one kind of moderate driving options is available, even if you cannot offer the same capacity or the comfort of a move.

The decision to suspend the RE47 has caused resentment among users of the line. Commuters who are regularly dependent on this connection are forced to look for alternative means of transport. This leads to an uncertain traffic situation, which could lead to overload, especially in peak times.
