Travel disruption for commuters

Not all trains are currently running in the greater Essen area; the disruption is expected to last until 15 November 2026. This is due to damage caused by mining, which is leading to delays and some cancellations.
 
Trains between Duisburg and Essen, as well as between Essen and Dortmund, are affected. Commuters are therefore advised to check their journey details shortly before departure.
