The S28 train service will be temporarily unavailable between Wuppertal Central Station and Gerresheim from June 7th, 2025, for several weeks due to construction work for the partial electrification of the track. This closure will only affect weekday services on the S28 train, with no disruption expected on weekends.
Passengers travelling during the weekdays can take advantage of the S1 train as an alternative service. The S1 train will operate during the construction period, making stops at stations between Wuppertal Central Station and Gerresheim. However, it is important to note that the S1 train will not be operational on the affected stretch during the closure period, only during the replacement traffic.
Replacement buses will also be available during the closure period, ensuring continuous transportation for passengers. The S28 train, on the other hand, will not stop at stations between Wuppertal Central Station and Gerresheim during the closure period.
The S1 train is not the only service unaffected by the closure outside the specified period. The S1 train will operate normally on weekends and outside the replacement traffic period, providing regular service to passengers.
The partial electrification project aims to improve service reliability, reduce emissions, and enable electric trains on some sections. The exact timeline and impact of the project, particularly within the S28 track between Wuppertal Central Station and Gerresheim, have yet to be announced by local transit authorities or operators involved, such as the regional rail company or transport ministry.
For more detailed and up-to-date information, it is recommended to visit the official websites of the local transport authority or Deutsche Bahn for announcements regarding the closure and the S1 and S28 train services.
The S1 train, serving as an alternative for weekday commuters, will operate during the construction period on the S28 train's affected route, offering stops at stations between Wuppertal Central Station and Gerresheim. Meanwhile, the finance and public-transit industry will strive to minimize travel disruptions by providing replacement buses during the closure period, ensuring continuous transportation for passengers.
