Train service disrupted nationwide due to communications failure

Train traffic has been disrupted on the Luxembourg rail network on Tuesday morning, national rail operator CFL said in a statement.

The disruption is due to a communications system failure, which had also paralysed rail traffic last month. The problem is causing delays and cancellations on routes across the country:

Ettelbruck – Troisvierges

Kautenbach – Wiltz

Luxembourg – Wasserbillig – Trier – Wittlich – Koblenz

Luxembourg – Kleinbettingen – Arlon

At Luxembourg’s central station, many trains are delayed, both arriving and departing, such as the 7:18 am train from Arlon, which is expected to be around 40 minutes late.

The railway company states that “at the moment no information can be given as to when rail traffic will resume”. It also states that its “technical teams are currently on site to resolve the problem.”
