Tension traffic restricted: Lack of personnel in Cologne - VRR warns 48 restrictions in NRW of line

The shortage of labor in rail traffic also has an impact on the RB 48 line in Cologne. The Rhein-Ruhr transport association provides information about restrictions due to a short-term personnel failure. The problems in train traffic are due to lack of staff and illness. The restrictions concern various trips to RB 48, both with start/finish in Bonn-Mehlem and in Cologne Hbf. As an alternative, the RE 7 trains between Wuppertal-Oberbarmen and Cologne Hbf can be used, as well as the trains of the RB 26 between Cologne Hbf and Bonn-Mehlem.

The transport association Rhein-Ruhr area includes the entire Ruhr area, Düsseldorf, the Lower Rhine area and the Bergisches Land. Cities like Duisburg, Dortmund, Essen and Gelsenkirchen are also part of it. Further restrictions on rail traffic are continuously updated to keep passengers up to date. For additional information, passengers can use the official website of the transport company or localized media sources. In such situations, it is advisable to plan alternative travel plans early to avoid inconvenience.
