Bahn chaos in Paderborn: Construction site ensures delays and anger!

Bahn chaos in Paderborn: Construction site ensures delays and anger!

Willebadessen, Deutschland - From Paderborn to Kassel - a nerve -wracking trip is imminent! From October 17th to November 13th, the railway line between Paderborn and Altenbeken will be closed to the ICE train station in Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe. This put the Pro Bahn passenger association into turmoil. "Passengers will experience nasty surprises on the platform," warns Rainer Engel, deputy state chairman of the association, who criticizes the poor information policy of the railways.

The diversions require up to 80 minutes longer travel time, and for the Rhein-Ruhr-Express, passengers in Willebadessen have to switch to a bus-that brings an additional hour! A defective information system ensures that these changes only appear late in the timetables, even only after Pro Bahn pointed out the problem. Deutsche Bahn justifies itself with dependencies on other transport companies, while National Express indicates late messages. "The timetables were published far too late," explains National Express, which brings the travelers concerned considerable difficulties. Travelers should know their rights and be informed about possible returns and compensation. Who is affected should act urgently.
