SENSATION: S-Bahn to Weilheim – trains on GREEN, but no progress!
The S-Bahn extension from Kirchheim to Weilheim is being pushed forward, but uncertainties and planning delays are delaying implementation.
SENSATION: S-Bahn to Weilheim – trains on GREEN, but no progress!
WE WASTE TIME! The dramatic odyssey surrounding the S-Bahn extension from Kirchheim to Weilheim drags on indefinitely while the population denounces the injustice of the rail policy. It's unimaginable that despite green signals and political support, the trains simply don't run! [esslinger-zeitung.de] reports that several parties, including the Free Voters, CDU/ÖDP, Greens and SPD, called for the project to be prioritized in a desperate outcry at a meeting of the Transport Committee!
Everyone agrees that the region needs a bridge to the future, but those responsible are letting the citizens down! Instead of finally reactivating the railway line, which has been left to vegetate as a shadow of its former self since it was closed in 1994, the decision-makers are fighting for the benefit of time and finances.
Where is the hoped-for solution?
The regional association's press spokesman, Thomas Graf-Miedaner, is even more determined: "We have the task of continuing to pursue." But time is of the essence, because the tangle of legal regulations and a shortage of skilled workers in the groundbreaking “Digital Hub Stuttgart” project is paralyzing the entire region! [bahnprojekt-stuttgart-ulm.de] Not to mention the electrification of the Teckbahn to Oberlenningen, which is also floating in the airless bubble of inactivity.
Even the hoped-for solution from Stuttgart, which promises new technologies such as digital signal boxes and digitalization of the entire railway operation, is stalling on the home stretch! Thanks to the renovation, the main station in Stuttgart will soon be able to offer high-performance operations: a train every five minutes on eight platform tracks! Is the region so incapable of finally taking advantage of this progress?
The shocking truths
The gloomy prognosis? Actual completion of the S-Bahn to Weilheim is not expected until 2040 at the earliest! A huge period of time full of unnecessary delays while citizens wait for more modern transport connections and lose patience!
- Nachhaltigkeit in der Erreichbarkeit: Die S-Bahn-Verlängerung würde die Erreichbarkeit von Weilheim und dem Gewerbegebiet Rosenloh massiver verbessern!
- Kritik von höchster Stelle: Plochings Bürgermeister Frank Buß führt die Klageflut als einen der Hauptgründe für die Projektverzögerungen an und fordert eine rechtliche Neuregelung zur Beschleunigung der Verfahren.
- Die historischen Fakten:Keine vagen Versprechungen! Die ursprüngliche Personenverkehrseinstellung auf der Weilheimer Strecke war bereits 1982, und die gesamte Stilllegung erfolgte bis 1994! Ein kaum zu fassendes Versäumnis!
Hopefully people's noise and frustration will be heard. Time passes, but the trains stop. Is this the future of transport in Stuttgart? We'll stay tuned to this sensational topic for you and report as soon as the first moves are finally announced!
