Personal trains come: West track finally becomes a lifeline for Luxembourg!

Personal trains come: West track finally becomes a lifeline for Luxembourg!

The western track Trier picks up speed! The first freight trains have already rattled over the freshly renovated tracks. And the best? In the first quarter of the new year, passenger trains will also be there! This development promises an hourly connection to Luxembourg, which many travelers expect longingly. Deutsche Bahn is cheering on progress and explains on its website that the route expansion is "in essential parts" - but reality could look different!

A look at the construction sites

Despite the optimistic message, there are some doubts about the assessment of the construction sites. The euphoria of the railway could be somewhat premature, because the work has not yet been fully completed. The delays and challenges that often occur with such major projects could endanger the plans for the passenger trains. However, the hope remains that everything will come in the right track in time.

accessibility moved to later

Another point in the discussion is accessibility. This important improvement will only be implemented at a later date. While the tracks are ready for passenger transport, travelers with limited mobility must continue to wait for comprehensive adjustments. This raises questions about how well the new connections will really be accessible to all users.
