RegioTram: Aachen-Baesweiler with a possible connection for Übach-Palenberg!

In an exciting step for public transport, the Aachen city region is planning a new tram line that is to lead from Aachen to Baesweiler. The feasibility study has already shown that this project, the so -called Regiotram, can be financed. Now the city of Übach-Palenberg checks whether it can be included in this ambitious project.

The expansion of the route to Übach-Palenberg would particularly benefit the numerous employees of the Schwarz Group companies and in the industrial area in Baesweiler. On the initiative of Übach-Palenberg, the Heinsberg district made an application to conclude the possible “norder extension” for examination in a potential analysis. Independent traffic planners will carry out these examinations, whereby the costs are partly borne by the Aachen City region and the Heinsberg district. The result of this analysis remains to be seen, but if it is positive, Übach-Palenberg could be connected to the Regiotram network in the coming years, as the city administration announced. Further information is in a report on www.aachener-zeitung.de to be found.
