Finally! Regional trains will start in March 2025 on the western route Trier

After months of delays and unexpected difficulties, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel for the western track Trier! From March 2025, the first regional trains will roll on this important connection between Trier and Luxembourg. Deutsche Bahn has now announced the start date, and the anticipation is tangible!

Before the trains can actually drive, there are still a few crucial steps. Access exams and measurement and test drives must be completed by the start date. The exact timetables and details of the offer, which will be available from March 3, 2025, remain a secret for the time being. The western route, which extends on the left side of the Moselle, will not only improve mobility, but also make the new traffic stations accessible to travelers.

challenges overcome

The project was not without challenges. Delivery bottlenecks and failed tenders have significantly impaired progress. But now Deutsche Bahn seems to be ready to overcome these hurdles and finally put the west route into operation. The anticipation for the new connections is great, and hope for a better connection to Luxembourg grows every day!
