“The unsatisfying end to an unsatisfactory first half of the season”

Two completely different halves

It is strongly recommended that you choose alternative arrival and departure options. Stops will be made at Dortmund-Hbf., Dortmund-Möllerbrücke (S4) and Dortmund-Hörde. From there, you can use the city railway and/or the rail replacement service or walk to the stadium.

Effects on local public transport

Trains cannot stop at the Signal-Iduna-Park train station. The only exception is the RB 53 from Iserlohn/Schwerte.

The trains on line RE 57 (DB Regio) between Dortmund Hbf and Fröndenberg will be diverted. The Dortmund-Hörde stop will be omitted; alternatively, the trains will stop at Witten Hbf. and Schwerte (Ruhr).

The trains on lines RB 53 (DB Regio) and RB 59 (eurobahn) will be cancelled between Dortmund Hbf. and Dortmund-Hörde. As a replacement, buses will stop at all stops. In addition, the underground line U41 can be used.

The trains on line RB 52 (DB Regio) are cancelled between Dortmund Hbf. and Herdecke. Buses will run as a replacement and stop at all stops.

Arrival

The RB 53 will depart Iserlohn at 17:51 and 18:51 and arrive at Dortmund-Signal-Iduna-Park at 18:27 and 19:27.

Two special TRI trains stopping at Bönen, Unna, Holzwickede, Do.-Sölde and Do.-Aplerbeck will depart from Hamm at 18:08 and 18:19 and arrive at Do.-Hörde at 18:39 and 18:51.

The Regionalexpress (RE) 57 will run from Bestwig (via Meschede, Freienohl, Oeventrop, Arnsberg, Wickede, Fröndenberg) to Dortmund-Hbf without any further stops.

A new service on offer since December 2022 is the connection from Siegen (via Kreuztal, Kirchhundem, Lennestadt, Finnentrop, Plettenberg, Werdohl, Altena, Letmathe and Witten) with the Intercity (IC) 34 or the RE 34, departing from Siegen at 16:08 and arriving at Do.-Hbf at 18:04 and departing from Siegen at 17:04 and arriving at Do.-Hbf at 18:57. On the IC 34, the local transport tariff applies and the match ticket is therefore valid.

Regular services run to Do.-Hbf from the direction of Münster/Coesfeld/Lünen as well as Hamm/Kamen.
