The RB 25 service runs on the section between Cologne Hansaring and Gummersbach every half hour. Trains continue from Gummersbach to Lüdenscheid hourly.
Faresedit
Fares on the entire line are regulated by Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (Rhine-Sieg Transport Association).
Extension to Lüdenscheidedit
Oliver Wittke, the former NRW transport minister, turned down a proposal to reactivate the entire section in 2005. The Marienheide–Meinerzhagen section returned to operation in 2013.[3] The section of the Volme Valley Railway between Meinerzhagen and Lüdenscheid-Brügge was finally reactivated at the timetable change in December 2017. Now trains from Cologne can run directly to Lüdenscheid.
Since, work at Meinerzhagen station was largely completed by December 2017, the stations Kierspe and Halver-Oberbügge were reopened in December 2019.
Futureedit
It is proposed to operate the section between Cologne Hansaring and Marienheide at 20-minute intervals. This, however, requires the part of the line to be duplicated. It is proposed that the line be integrated into the network of the Rhine-Sieg S-Bahn and be extended through Cologne to the Eifel Railway.
In March 2011, the Nahverkehr Westfalen-Lippe (Westphalia-Lippe Regional Transport) awarded operations of the Cologne diesel network (Kölner Dieselnetz) to DB Regio Rheinland from December 2013 for 20 years. This contract requires the following actions on the Oberbergische network to be undertaken:
line extension (reactivation) from Marienheide to Meinerzhagen
duplication of the Dieringhausen–Gummersbach section
measures to raise speeds between Köln-Porz and Rösrath
increased services on the Overath–Engelskirchen section by increasing services between Cologne and Overath (13 services from Monday to Friday)
increased services on the Overath–Gummersbach section to 14 services from Monday to Friday
an extra service in the morning peak from Overath (7:11 AM) to Cologne (7:48 AM)
establishment of a half-hourly service between Marienheide and Gummersbach between 7:00 and 8:00 AM for students and school children.
