Wupper-Lippe-Express
The Wupper-Lippe-Express is an hourly Regional-Express service in German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which forms part of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn. It connects Wesel with Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof via Oberhausen and Essen. The line is operated by DB Regio NRW on behalf of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR). History The RE 49 service was introduced with the timetable change on 15 December 2019. It was introduced together with changes to the S-Bahn network at the 2019 timetable. The service is based on the observation that interchange between the S 3 service from Essen and the RE 5, RE 19 and RB 35 services towards Wesel in Oberhausen was the busiest at any station in the VRR network and this route had no direct service before the introduction of the Wupper-Lippe-Express. In addition, a study found that thinning out the S-Bahn frequencies on the partially parallel S 3 and S 9 services while introducing an express service would result in high ...
