Train traffic on the winning valley route: signal box failure leads to delays

Rhein-Sieg: Train traffic on the victory route interrupted

Train traffic on the heavily frequented victory valley route is currently interrupted. The cause of the disorder is in the failure of a signal box in Eitorf, as the Deutsche Bahn announced on Wednesday, April 23. The regional express lines Re9 and the S-Bahn lines S12 and S19 are particularly affected. This interruption represents a significant impairment for commuters and travelers.

The disorder occurred around 7:30 p.m. Unfortunately, there is currently no clear information about when the normalized train traffic can be resumed. Travelers have to adapt to considerable delays and possibly also partial failures, which could negatively influence the schedule of many passengers.

Delays and Timetable changes announced

As the DB Regio reports, the trains are currently at the nearest train stations and wait, which leads to further delays. On the information portal Zuginfo.NRW it is informed that changes in the timetable can also occur. Passengers are urgently asked to inquire before departure whether their connection is affected and whether the train is going as planned.

The problems on the victory route are not only a temporary challenge, but also raise questions about the operational safety of the rail infrastructure. Deutsche Bahn may have to take additional measures to minimize future disorders of this type and to ensure more smooth operation for passengers.
