The price for this ticket is 21.70 euros and offers flexibility for family excursions on weekends and public holidays.

For travelers who are only planning a single trip, it is possible to acquire a ticket to the Dutch tariff.

In addition, there are further ticket options for sections of the rail connection.

The expansion of international train traffic between North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands will continue to be promoted in the future. A new high -speed route from Aachen to Eindhoven is planned until the end of 2024. In addition, train connections from the Ruhr area to Eindhoven and a potential railway line from Oberhausen to Rotterdam are under discussion. These developments promise an optimal connection for travelers and commuters in the region.
