The Luxembourg National Railway Company (CFL) has announced significant adaptations and cancellations on its rail network between 14 March and 4 April due to the replacement of approximately 20 points along the line connecting Luxembourg City and Pétange.

According to CFL, no trains will operate on the Luxembourg City – Käerjeng/Sanem – Rodange – Athus or Longwy routes over three weekends: 15–16 March, 22–23 March, and 29–30 March. During these periods, a substitute bus service will be provided, ensuring all towns normally served by trains remain accessible.

For passengers travelling from Rodange, an alternative train service will be available on specific dates: 14 March, 21 March, 24–28 March, and 31 March–4 April. Travellers from Longwy will have access to direct connections via Esch-sur-Alzette at 5.46am and 6.20am. Additionally, trains will continue to run between Rodange and Esch-sur-Alzette, as well as between Rodange and Longwy.

To accommodate affected passengers, the Rodange–Esch–Luxembourg City line will receive additional services during this period. This adjustment should allow travellers from Athus to reach Luxembourg City without major inconvenience, though the journey may take approximately 20 minutes longer than the usual route through Käerjeng.

It is important to note that, similar to the weekend arrangements, substitute buses will also operate on these days.
