From 12.08. to 15.09.24: Interruption of services between Luxembourg and Bettembourg.
During this second half of the summer period, the CFL will continue to carry out works in view of the future connection of the new Luxembourg - Bettembourg line to the stations of Bettembourg and Luxembourg. This interruption of train operations will in particular allow the expansion of the Howald multimodal multimodal hub to continue with the construction of a second platform and additional tracks. Together with the construction of the new Luxembourg - Bettembourg line, this work will optimise train services and improve the level of service on the lines concerned.
A shuttle bus service has been set up between Luxembourg and Bettembourg (peak time: every 5 minutes; off-peak time: every 15 minutes). Details of the replacement service will be published as soon as possible.
