  2. From July 30 to August 12, 2024, trains will run again on the Middle Rhine line, without stopping at Limburg, Montabaur, Siegburg and Koblenz/Bonn.

Rail replacement services are also available for these closures; the replacement connections have been incorporated into the timetable and are available on the DB website or the DB Navigator app.
