Not exactly. RE6 will still run directly, RE1 can drop you off in Köln-Ehrenfeld or you board the RE7 in Neuss via S8.

Well this is.... interesting news. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get around that.

Yikes 😱

There are a lot of bus options to both stations or you can use Nextbike.

Oh man, that really sucks, I’m sorry

OH YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME ???

holy shit xD

Get ready to take the Schienenerstazverkehr, buddy

yeah the RE1 is not gonna stop at the Cologne trade fair, RE6 still will but it takes twice as long as the RE1 would. i'm gonna be working at gamescom but i live in the Ruhr area which is usually not that big of a problem but now i'm not actually sure how to make it to Cologne in the early mornings

Oh shit!

It's Gamescom, not Trainscom. Sorry.

oh my god no way

This is what we do each year, and it’s usually much less busy too

Ohhh OOPS different German mega nerd event. my bad! carry on everyone.

When going to Berlin for ffxiv fanfest via train they also forced me to take the bus from frankfurt oder to Berlin route. Db are unfunny joke normally but this year they are extra godawful. Next German government to fix this will have mandate of heaven in my eyes.

Oof that's terrible! Typical DB during August 🙄

Lemme tell you… live in the area is a literal nightmare My wife is constantly up in arms about the train situation in the Rhein-Ruhr area.

I just checked the DB navigator app from Düsseldorf main station to Köln Messe Deutz where the gamescom is.... Every train there is normally shedueled without any warning on every day. So... I don't know wich lines are meant but there is still direct traffic to gsmescom.

So...nothing new? Lol As someone who has to use their services on a daily basis for work related commutes, I am not surprised at all of their ignorance towards events that "might" cause a huge spike in travelers. Wish you all the best of luck. Grab an extra bottle of water!

I see Gamescom this year already has a music theme! www.youtube.com/watch?v=561d...

Germans be Germaning

Anyone in their right mind and DB doesnt necessarily have an overlap tbh...

I may regret sharing this information, but: There's another train from Düsseldorf to Cologne (Deutz), which is not impacted by this absolutely mind-boggling decision, as it's taking another route. This will likely be the best option for those commuting between the two cities during gamescom.

Boy, do I have news for you about Deutsche Bahn.

"no one in their right mind would..." "Sir, this is a Deutsche Bahn!"

Hardcore to the max

We're going to roll up at Gamescom like the sardines storming the Krusty Krab...

There is now a handy map that... explains everything?

that … is insane. Like absolutely boneheaded and irresponsibly insane. I’ve been to Gamescom a few times and I’ve always taken the train and they were ALWAYS packed to the brim. What the fuck is this logic?!?!?!

Uuugh, I just ordered my international trainticket yesterday. Now I need to check if, where and how I am going to get impacted.

Sometimes I love not living in the city 👀
