Regional train 25 on the road again - but Lüdenscheid stays away!

Regional train 25 on the road again - but Lüdenscheid stays away!
On July 1, 2025, the regional train 25 (RB25) rolled between Cologne and Lüdenscheid after a two -year standstill phase, but the joy only lasted. Already on the same morning, the section between Bruges and Lüdenscheid was closed again due to a defective signal. This reports come-on.de . The original return of passengers had to be moved again and again; Initially, the closure was scheduled until 1 p.m., then extended until 3 p.m. and finally until 5 p.m. At the time of the closure, the regional railway 25 commutes to Bruges alone, where passengers are advised to use bus lines 134 or 47 for the onward journey to Lüdenscheid. A rail replacement traffic of the regional railway 52 is also available, but the company is also exposed to Friday due to track work.
Not only the section between Bruges and Lüdenscheid causes excitement. Bridge work in Marienheide leads to a complete failure of all RB 25 trains between Marienheide and Lüdenscheid. This measure was introduced on May 12, 2025 and extended until July 1, 2025. Replacement buses run from a newly furnished “Tannenbaum” stop (crossing Kölner Str. / Volmestr.), But there is a problem for cyclists: For reasons of space, taking the buses is not possible. In addition, the stops of the rail replacement traffic are not always directly at the train stations, which causes confusion. However, the directions to the SEV stops are available on Bahnhof.de, as reported by Vareo.de
Current information and malfunction reports
If you want to stay up to date, it is advisable to take a look at the interactive fault card from Bahn.de , which provides an overview of current train failures and route interruptions. Here you can also follow the real-time positions of the trains and access local information about departure boards. There is also a delay alarm function that automatically notifies if there is delays-a helpful mini app for commuters!
The current circumstances around the regional railway 25 show that rail traffic is not always smooth. If you still want to use the connection between Cologne and Lüdenscheid, you should adapt to the construction activities and, if necessary, consider alternative traffic routes. In this sense: secure the best places in the buses and a lot of patience on the streets of the region!
