Railway traffic Cologne Current: Disorder causes delays and failures

On Monday morning, April 14, 2025, commuters in and around Cologne face considerable challenges due to delays and partial failures in rail traffic. A signal box defect significantly affects the train operation, especially on the routes towards Troisdorf and Koblenz.

The defective section affects the route between Cologne Frankfurter Straße and Cologne Messe/Deutz. No train trips are currently possible in this area. According to the official information of Zuginfo.NRW, the trains will either stop at the next train station or, if possible. Travelers have to adapt to delays and partial failures, which makes it difficult to plan trips and pendulum distances.

train connections affected:

  • RE 8: Mönchengladbach-Köln-Köln/Bonn Airport-Troisdorf-Bonn-Wasel-Koblenz
  • Re 9: Aachen - Köln - Troisdorf - Au (Sieg) –Betzdorf - victory
  • RB 25: Köln - overath - Engelskirchen - Marienheide - Meinerzhagen - Lüdenscheid
  • RB 27: Mönchengladbach-Rommerskirchen-Köln --troisdorf-Bonn-Bleine-Koblenz
  • s 12: au (Sieg) –hennef - troisdorf - Köln/Bonn Airport - Köln - Horrem
  • s 19: au (Sieg) –hennef - troisdorf - Köln/Bonn Airport - Köln - Horrem - Düren

Deutsche Bahn cannot currently estimate when the affected section of the route will be accessible again. Travelers are asked to regularly check the online egg information because short -term changes to the train runs are possible. In addition, replacement traffic is being worked on to offer the affected passengers alternative travel options.

In the past, there were always similar disorders in Cologne rail traffic, which were often due to technical defects or construction work. In such cases, Deutsche Bahn reacts with surrounding communications to travelers and tries to keep the effects of the disorders as low as possible. Nevertheless, the planning and commuting remains a challenge for many, especially in peak times.
