|} Euregiobahn is a system of cross-border regional trains (RB 20) in the combined area of the ''AVV (Aachener Verkehrverbund)'' at the Aachen (district), Düren (district) and the neighbouring Dutch Zuid-Limburg operated by DB Regio NRW. == History == The historical predecessors of ''Euregiobahn'' were the first 2-hour-interval City Express trains between Heerlen and Aachen of the (Sittard–Herzogenrath railway) and (Aachen–Mönchengladbach railway), which were introduced in 1992 to replace the Maastricht–Aachen railway. As the first stage of the ''Euregiobahn'' regional rail system, the service from Heerlen, Herzogenrath, Kohlscheid and Aachen to Stolberg (Rhineland) came into operation in June 2001. The section from Stolberg - Hauptbahnhof to Stolberg-Altstadt was reopened to passengers, including the ''Stolberg-Altstadt'' station (formerly ''Stolberg (Rhineland) Hammer'') and the stations at ''Stolberg Rathhaus'' and ''Stolberg Mühlener Bf''. As a second stage the Eschweiler - Talbahn, Stolberg to ''Eschweiler-West'' ''Eschweiler Talbahnhof / Raiffeisen-Platz'', ''Eschweiler-Nothberg'' to ''Eschweiler-Weisweiler'' and ''section of'' to '' Herzogenrath Alt-Merkstein'', ''Herzogenrath August-Schmidt-Platz'' came into operation between September and December 2004. In December 2005, the route was extended via ''Alsdorf - Busch'' to ''Alsdorf - Anna Park''. Finally the Euregiobahn opened two new stations in December 2007: ''Heerlen de Kissel'' and ''Eygelshoven Markt'' between Herzogenrath and Heerlen. Despite public protests in support of the Eschweiler ''Eschweiler-Aue'' was not reopened in 2004 for financial reasons. Owing to drastically reduced state funding, routes could at first be extended only sparingly. Construction of the new line from Eschweiler-Weisweiler to Langerwehe started in the summer of 2007 and it was opened on 14 June 2009. From that day trains ran from Eschweiler-Weisweiler to Langerwehe and finally in December 2009 the hourly service was extended to Düren. Since locations between Eschweiler-Nothberg and Langerwehe are now served by the Euregiobahn, the station at Nothberg on the Cologne–Aachen high-speed railway was closed in December 2009. November 2011 saw the first test ride on the next section of the ring to be completed, the stretch from Alsdorf - Anna Park to Alsdorf - Kellerberg and Alsdorf - Poststrasse. The official inauguration took place on 9 December 2011 when a special train on the Euregiobahn at 18:02, for invited guests only, left the Alsdorf-Anna Park track. The scheduled passenger service began on 11 December 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euregiobahn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
