Heads up, travelers between Trier and Koblenz! Prepare for some major disruptions on your rail journey over the next three weeks due to some construction work. Say goodbye to the Moselle line between Trier and Bullay in the Cochem-Zell district, which will be closed from November 15 to December 6, thanks to Deutsche Bahn. They dropped the bomb in Frankfurt.
On the bright side, passengers can swap their train seats for comfy bus rides, but be ready for extra travel time. The bus itineraries and pick-up points may deviate from the train service, so plan ahead.
Why all the fuss, you ask? The tracks need an upgrade! Railway rails, sleepers, and ballast are being replaced across a large area, according to the rail company.
With rail service halted between Trier and Bullay, expect serious disruptions in your commute. Delays and altered transportation routes are on the menu as you'll be hopping on replacement buses instead.
Sources suggest considering alternative transportation options like buses or regional public transportation. However, the Mosel Wine Region, home to Trier and Bullay, hasn't shared specific transportation alternatives during construction, bummer.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on the closure duration and alternative transportation options, it's best to touch base with local transportation authorities or stay glued to Deutsche Bahn or regional transportation service announcements.
