Technical Issues Disrupt RRX Train Services in North Rhine-Westphalia

Commuters face delays and reduced capacity as Siemens works to resolve communication system failures affecting multiple lines.

Train services operated by National Express in North Rhine-Westphalia have been experiencing significant disruptions since Friday.
The technical problem involves a communication system failure between passenger and train control in the second part of the trains.
Siemens Mobility, responsible for maintenance and repairs, has identified the issue and is actively working on a solution.
Affected lines include RE 1, RE 4, RE 5, RE 6, and RE 11, with some services operating at reduced capacity.
Real-time travel information was temporarily unavailable but has since been restored, according to Zuginfo.NRW.
