Cologne Aachen Timetable 2023

Currently work-in-progress with hours 11, 15 and 16 fully completed as well as all IC/ICE services and many around midnight.

What can you expect and how does it differ from the status quo?

• looping timetable: seamless transition from before to after midnight
  

• all passenger services running on September 13, 2023 with compatible rolling stock will be included (some only as AI)
  

• real times as much as possible (that makes some services very hard as there is little prep time)
  

• freight services that use loops and require waiting sometimes up to 10 minutes
  

• freight services that are following a real timetable with respect to rough times and loadout (timetable was only for portion from Aachen West to Belgium and back so the times for Cologne-Aachen are guesswork)
  

What lines/services will be playable?

• RE 1 between Cologne-Aachen with Talent 2 as stand-in for Desiro HC
  

• RE 9 between Cologne-Aachen with mix of Talent 2 and Dosto+146
