Fewer trains in the VRR: Punctuality despite a lack of staff in NRW?

A major change is changed to travelers in the Rhein-Ruhr Transport Association (VRR): Due to the continuing lack of personnel, the range of train journeys is significantly reduced. The measures that come into force from January 2025 should protect travelers from unreliable connections, but it remains to be seen whether this strategy can actually bring the desired effect. In the future, the RE6, which leads over Neuss and Dormagen, will only run until around 10 p.m., while the RE7 will end even earlier, namely at 9 p.m. As early as December 16, 2024, certain trips to RB 39 between Grevenbroich and Neuss, such as News894 reported.

The need for these adjustments results from a joint decision by the NRW tasks that pull together with the railway traffic companies. The VRR pursues the goal of designing the timetables in such a way that they can be reliably implemented with the forces actually available. Therefore, the main traffic times and student traffic in particular were examined in detail in order to keep the cuts as low as possible, explains Ruhrbarone . These flexible adjustments are intended for short -term stabilization in rail traffic, while a comprehensive program for long -term improvement in the situation is being developed in parallel. By 2026, around 700 new training positions for train drivers are to be created in order to close the existing personnel.
