Fight for the marching railway: North Friesland insists on a quick solution for Sylt!

The March railway line to Sylt is the focus of current discussions, as commuters and tourists fight with delays and crowded trains. Despite the measures already taken by Deutsche Bahn, the Situation remains tense. In order to advance the improvements, the two -track expansion of the entire route is crucial how a recently adopted resolution at the fourth rail summit in North Friesland illustrates.

The demand for a second track and a supervisor was the result of a spontaneous decision after known problems and possible delays were discussed because of the current risk of federal houses. Transport Minister Claus Ruhe Madsen asked the BUND to enforce the plans for the expansion, since so far there was no commitments. Madsen said that the lack of understanding of the people in the region was great when there were further delays.

The State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Transport, Gero Hocker, did not miss the opportunity to personally be present at the summit in Niebüll, which is a premiere. Hocker emphasized that the Bundestag would deal with the two -track expansion of the marching railway before the next election in 2025. The expansion is important for several region because it would not only support tourism on the island, but also the local businesses.

At the same time, Hocker confirmed his support for the resolution, in which it is required to complete the planning phase until spring 2025 at the earliest so that the costs can still be taken into account in the Federal Budget 2026. The area between Niebüll and Klanxbüll as well as between Morsum and Tinnum on Sylt are specially provided for the intended extensions.

In order to counteract the inadequate capacity, Minister Madsen plans to increase the number of train cars during the rush hours. In addition, he announced measures that could ensure that Deutsche Bahn will be financially punished with insufficient performance from December.

The importance of the marching railway for the region is undisputed, but unpunctuality is a persistent problem. Achim Bonnichsen said of the commuter initiative that short -term solutions are not in sight, which the commuters only continued to drain. Minister Madsen tried to show understanding of the situation, but emphasized the complex structures and challenges with which the planning in Germany was faced.

In recent years, hundreds of million euros have already flowed into the modernization of the marching railway. Between 2018 and 2022 alone, around 140 million euros were invested in renovations to improve the route between Elmshorn and Sylt. And another investment program by 2027 is already in prospect of strengthening the infrastructure.

The current events around the two -track expansion of the marching railway to Sylt has the potential to improve mobility in the region and to open up new perspectives for commuters and tourists. However, it remains to be seen how fast and to what extent the necessary measures can be implemented in order to meet the challenges.
