Railway service interruptions on Line RB 70, spanning between Merzig and Saarlouis, from July 29 to August 18.

Overview: From July 29 to August 18, passengers traveling on the RB 70 regional train service between Merzig and Saarlouis will face significant disruptions due to construction work.

Alternative Routes: During the affected period, direct RB 70 trains between Merzig and Saarlouis will be replaced by bus services, often referred to as "Schienenersatzverkehr." Passengers are advised to use these replacement buses, which will be scheduled to connect with trains at Merzig and Saarlouis stations. For journeys beyond these stations, it's essential to check current timetable adjustments and consider alternative regional trains or buses as recommended by the local transit authority.

Expected Delays: Delays are expected due to the slower pace of replacement buses compared to trains. Transfer times may also be longer than usual, so passengers should allow extra time when planning their journeys.

Contact Information for Construction Inquiries: For detailed and up-to-date information, including schedules and disruptions, passengers can contact the Saarländischer Verkehrsverbund (SaarVV) or Deutsche Bahn customer service:

  • SaarVV customer service: Accessible via their official website or hotline.
  • Deutsche Bahn (DB) customer service: Reachable via phone (DB service numbers) or their official website.

At stations, information boards and service personnel can provide assistance regarding alternative routes and delays.

Stay Informed: Passengers are encouraged to check updated schedules shortly before traveling, as construction work and transport arrangements can change. Information on these changes can be found on www.bahn.de or by using the DB Navigator app. For specific inquiries about construction work in affected regions (Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Hesse, and Baden-Württemberg), please contact [email protected].

Passengers are advised to allow for more travel time and check the current traffic situation before departure to ensure a smooth journey.
