Railway service interruptions on Line RB 70, stretching from Merzig to Saarlouis, from July 29 to August 18

Deutsche Bahn has announced a slope stabilization project in Fremersdorf, which will affect the train line between Merzig and Saarlouis from July 29 to August 18. As a result, there may be delays of up to five minutes on RB 71 trips towards Trier due to single-track operation.

While the lines RE 1 and RB 71 will continue to run according to schedule, passengers are advised to allow for more travel time and to check the current traffic situation before departure.

Alternative Train Options and Potential Delays

During this period, the train line between Merzig and Saarlouis will have significant restrictions. Passengers should expect potential delays due to single-track operation or slower safety speeds around the work zone.

Alternative train options during such work usually include replacement bus services or rerouting via nearby lines. However, no replacement bus service is planned for the suspended RB 70 line.

Staying Informed

For specific questions about the construction project, passengers can contact [email protected]. Information will also be provided at the stations during the period of restrictions.

Passengers can find information on connections at www.bahn.de/aktuell. The DB Navigator app can also provide information regarding connections.

For the most accurate and current information regarding alternative options and delays on the Merzig-Saarlouis line during July 29 to August 18, and for updates, passengers should consult:

  • The official website or app of the local/regional rail operator (e.g., Deutsche Bahn, Saarländischer Verkehrsverbund)
  • On-site notices at stations on the affected route
  • Traffic and transport news outlets covering Saarland regional transport

If needed, I can help formulate specific queries or guide you on where to check these updates directly.

Affected Regions

The affected regions include Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Hesse, and Baden-Württemberg. Passengers are reminded to plan their journeys accordingly and to stay informed about any potential changes in their travel plans.
