|} The Rhein-Hellweg-Express (RE 11) is a Regional-Express service in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), running from Hamm via Dortmund, Bochum, Essen, Duisburg and Krefeld to Mönchengladbach. ==History == In 1988 the first regular interval regional rapid train service was established from Dortmund via Essen, Duisburg and Düsseldorf to Cologne. This operated hourly on the Cologne–Duisburg and Dortmund–Duisburg lines, which even then were the most important railway lines for passenger traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia. With the introduction of high-speed regional services in the early 1990s, this line was named the NRW-Express (originally numbered RSB 1; from 1995 it was redesignated as Stadt-Express line SE 1) and ran from Bielefeld via Hamm, Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Düsseldorf and Cologne to Aachen. With the extension of the service on the Hamm–Bielefeld and Cologne–Aachen lines, the service soon had insufficient capacity. Therefore, in May 1998 with the NRW-wide implementation of regional express lines, the NRW-Express (now RE 1) was supplemented by the Westfalen-Express (RE 6) from Bielefeld via Hamm, Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg to Düsseldorf so that on the northern section there were two Regional-Expresses per hour. After the timetable change in December 2002, services on the central Ruhr axis between Hamm and Düsseldorf increased to five Regional-Express services in each two hour period with the introduction of the new ''Rhein-Hellweg-Express'' (RE 11) at two hourly intervals, from Düsseldorf to Hamm and continuing on the line to Paderborn. When the timetable change in December 2010 there was an exchange of sections between the ''NRW-Express'', the ''Rhein-Hellweg Express'' and ''Rhein-Haard-Express'' (RE 2): *The section of the ''Rhein-Hellweg-Express'' from Hamm via Soest and Lippstadt to Paderborn was taken over by the ''NRW-Express''; this section continues to be operated only every two hours. *The section of the ''Rhein-Hellweg Express'' between Duisburg and Düsseldorf (now operated hourly) was taken over by the Rhein-Haard-Express. In return, the ''Rhein-Hellweg Express'' runs (now also hourly) on the section between Duisburg and Mönchengladbach. The Duisburg–Mönchengladbach line is for the first time connected directly to the eastern Ruhr region by Regional-Express services. The timetable change increased service levels: there are now three Regional-Express trains per hour between Hamm and Duisburg (RE 1, 6 and 11), a four hourly Regional-Express services between Hamm and Dortmund (with the addition of RE 3), between Bochum and Essen (with RE 16) and between Essen and Duisburg (with RE 2). 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「Rhein-Hellweg-Express」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
