Advancements in Variable Refresh Rate Technology

In a bid to enhance the commuting experience for residents of Neuss, District Administrator Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke has advocated for improvements on the S8 line, run by both VRR and Deutsche Bahn. The S-Bahn line, which runs from Mönchengladbach to Düsseldorf and beyond, with stops at Korschenbroich, Kleinenbroich, Buettgen, and Neuss, has been experiencing frequent delays and overcrowded trains, particularly in the morning towards Düsseldorf.

To address these issues, Petrauschke has been in discussions with representatives of VRR and Deutsche Bahn. During these meetings, it was agreed that during the day, trains on the S8 line will be reliably operated in double traction to avoid overcrowding. Additionally, the Regional-Express RE4 will stop in Buettgen during peak hours in the morning, providing additional relief on the S8 line.

The responsible parties for implementing these improvements include the local government authorities of the district, the transport companies operating the S8 line, and relevant regional transport associations. Petrauschke is determined to ensure that these promises made by VRR and Deutsche Bahn are kept.
