Rare debsjc Posted July 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Help! My parents river cruise has been cut short due to heavy rain in Europe. I need the details of the trains from Cologne to Dusseldorf airport. I've had a look at the German rail website, but it's a bit confusing. I'm not sure if the trip involves a change of train or not.

Rare carlmm Posted July 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2009 When do your parents need to travel? There a connections with and without train changes. E.g. tomorrow 9:05 IC 2157 direct Cologne Mainstation to Düsseldorf Airport 9:11 IC 2310 change at Düsseldorf main station to regional train 9:31 direct regional train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare carlmm Posted July 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The same trains run on Saturdays, only the first IC has a different number, 2257. The IC costs € 13 per person. I estimate a taxi to be more than € 100. A quick check of googled transfer companies leads to prices from € 85 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HeinBloed Posted July 1, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2009 You can book a pick-up service for Düsseldorf Airport for 70.00 EUR instead of taxi: http://www.nrwshuttle.de/index.php Origin is 50667 Köln, Frankenwerft (most river cruise ships berthes here).

Rare HeinBloed Posted July 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2009 If your parents do not transfer at Düsseldorf Hbf (= Hauptbahnhof = Central Station) they arrive in Düsseldorf Flughafen Station which means they need to transfer there by a kind of ropecar (H-Bahn) shuttle to the terminal If your parents transfer at Düsseldorf Hbf to the S7 Commuter Trains they arrive in Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal Station which is in the lower level of the terminal building Regards, HeinBloed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
