Restrictions in rail traffic: Cologne-Troisdorf paralyzed by strike!
Current disruptions in train traffic between Cologne Ehrenfeld and Troisdorf: repair work and delays until further notice.
Restrictions in rail traffic: Cologne-Troisdorf paralyzed by strike!
In Cologne, rail travelers are currently struggling with considerable challenges. The route between Cologne Central Station and Troisdorf has been closed since Thursday morning, and that is not expected to end any time soon. Loud T Online, the reasons for these interruptions are technical repairs on the railway line. As a result, there are not only delays but also partial cancellations in train services. The RE 8 regional train line, which comes from Mönchengladbach and ends in Cologne Messe/Deutz, is particularly affected; the section to Troisdorf is canceled.
The situation also means that trains on lines RE 9 and RB 27 bypass the closed stations between Cologne-Ehrenfeld and Troisdorf without stopping. Travelers traveling between these two locations are asked to use the S-Bahn lines S12 and S19. Deutsche Bahn has also recommended checking connections shortly before departure, as there is no foreseeable end to the disruptions in sight.
Current faults and causes
But the current disruptions are not the only ones affecting travelers on the rail route. Already in May there was a complete closure of the train route on the left bank of the Rhine between Cologne and Koblenz, which extended from May 2nd to May 19th. The reason for this was work on a new electronic signal box, like koeln.de reported. During this time, many regional connections, including RE 5 (RRX), RB 26, RB 30 and RB 48, were affected and a replacement rail service was set up.
The “Disruptions in Rail Traffic” initiative, which works independently of railway companies, points out that disruptions in the German route network are not uncommon. They are often caused by various causes such as fallen trees, damage to vehicles or overhead lines. Travelers can look forward to stoerungen-bahnverkehr.de inform about current restrictions.

With the ongoing disruptions, flexibility is required because arrival times can change quickly. It is therefore advisable to take a look at the timetables and consider alternative means of transport. It remains to be seen whether the disruptions will be resolved soon - until then, for many travelers it is important to be patient and always keep calm!
