Interruption with international impact after collision of two freight trains on 19 May

Since Thursday morning (19/05/2022), the Aschaffenburg-Darmstadt line between Babenhausen and Dieburg has been interrupted. After the collission of two freight trains in the early morning, several wagons of one of the freight trains derailed and one of the loco drivers died. A long-lasting investigation of the accident by the authorities is expected.

Total closure on the line is still in place. Start of single-track operations is anticipated from 16 June 2022, 5 am.

 International Freight Trains are rerouted via

• Aschaffenburg-Frankfurt,

The overview of TCRs may be accessed via our website (https://rfc-rhine-danube.eu/temporary-capacity-restrictions-tcrs/), as well as via the CIP (https://info-cip.rne.eu/).

We are looking forward to welcoming you on the RFC Rhine-Danube network!

An updated overview of TCRs along RFC Rhine-Danube can now be accessed via our website (https://rfc-rhine-danube.eu/temporary-capacity-restrictions-tcrs/), as well as via the CIP (https://info-cip.rne.eu/).

To learn the level of satisfaction of the customers with the performance of the corridor, RFC Rhine-Danube conducted its first user satisfication survey for 2021. The survey was conducted in a harmonised manner, most importantly by using a harmonised questionnaire across all 11 RFCs, and coordinated by RailNetEurope.

We would like to thank everyone who filled it in for the valuable feedback and time.

The summary of the results specific for RFC Rhine-Danube can be downloaded here.

Our RFC is taking a deeper look into the results in order to define concrete actions for improvement
