Train cancellations on Eurobahn: The location between Rheda and Münster is heading!

Current personnel problems in the Eurobahn lead to considerable train failures between Rheda-Wiedenbrück and Münster. This situation has recently been discussed by Radio Gütersloh where there are not several train connections in particular could. However, the Eurobahn is optimistic and expects an improvement in the situation with the winter timetable in December when more train drivers are available.

There is currently a lack of two railcars, which also tightens the situation. The personnel department of the Eurobahn is working intensively on recruiting more train drivers in order to be able to reliably offer the affected connections again. The return of certain trips from Warendorf and Beelen to Gütersloh and Bielefeld should also be made possible after they had been painted beforehand.

Information on the timetable

The Eurobahn has therefore announced a reduced timetable on the RB 66 line, which will apply from December 15, 2024 to December 13, 2025. The trains of this line run between Münster Hbf and Osnabrück Hbf every two hours. Alternatively, passengers can also use the trains of the RE 2 line, which also offer a practical connection.

• Additional hold for the RE 2 only Monday to Thursday (not on NRW holidays):
• passage in Kattenvenrene and Natrup-Hagen on Fridays to Sundays and on public holidays.

• Düsseldorf Hbf (05:06) - Osnabrück Hbf (07:13) (Monday to Friday).
• Natural stop Natrup-Hagen (Kattenvenne of regular support); On Saturdays in Kattenvenne and Natrup-Hagen.

train failures and their background

In addition to the Eurobahn, the phenomenon of train failures is so worrying that Deutsche Bahn is also affected. According to a report by Süddeutscher Zeitung reported the Federal Transport Ministry 9725 over a period of time in the spring of 2022, what a doubling in comparison to the year Corresponds to 2021. These failures are often due to personnel bottlenecks.

The Eurobahn and other transport companies are faced with the challenge of minimizing the number of unusual trains through targeted personnel measures. This is particularly important in order to regain the trust of passengers who rely on reliable transport connections.

Although the Eurobahn is working on an improvement in the situation, it remains to be seen whether the announced measures will lead to the desired success. It is crucial for the passengers that public transport continues to serve as a reliable means of transportation.
