++ Commissioning of the electronic interlocking at Cologne main station ++
From 13.11.2025, there will be major restrictions on regional services in the greater Cologne area for the commissioning of the electronic interlocking at Cologne main station.
During the main phase from 14.11.2025 to 24.11.2025, there will be cancellations or detour on almost all regional transport lines. The S-Bahn lines and the regional train line RB 25 will operate according to the regular timetable, except for a few isolated periods, and will be available as alternative routes.

We are working to continuously improve the infrastructure for buses and trains in the VRS and go.Rheinland region. Work is already underway in many areas that will make the Cologne rail hub and the lines running to it more efficient and fit for the future. This includes, for example, the S-Bahn expansion in the Cologne junction and measures for the Rhine-Ruhr Express (RRX) or the construction and installation of new control and safety technology as well as the electrification and expansion of the Eifel routes.
However, all construction measures naturally cause delays and disruptions until they are completed. We will keep you up to date on this page.
