History
editThe Quendorf station on the Gronau–Coevorden railway line resumed passenger rail service on July 7, 2019, after a 45-year hiatus, as part of the reactivation of regional rail services (SPNV) by Bentheimer Eisenbahn (BE). This reactivation is integrated into Lower Saxony's extensive efforts to enhance public transport connectivity, particularly in rural areas far from major urban centers. This reactivation includes the establishment of new stops such as Neuenhaus, Nordhorn, and Nordhorn Süd, aimed at better integrating these areas with the regional public transport network.[2]
Trains on this route now operate from 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM, offering hourly services that connect seamlessly with the RB 61 Eurobahn line at Bad Bentheim, enhancing regional mobility. The local bus network in Grafschaft Bentheim has also been restructured to complement the reinstated train services effectively.[3]
