Major Overhaul Ahead: Luxembourg Station Set for €138 Million Modernisation

Luxembourg’s main train station — a vital hub for national and cross-border travel — is poised for a major transformation. The government has approved a €138 million budget to modernise the station’s railway infrastructure, addressing long-standing capacity and efficiency challenges.

Originally not designed to handle today’s volume of passengers and international trains, the capital’s station will now undergo a significant redevelopment aimed at improving train regularity and eliminating key bottlenecks.

The project includes several large-scale upgrades:

• Renewal of existing tracks
• Construction of a new track between Hollerich and Luxembourg
• Addition of a new platform to increase operational capacity
• Separation of lines 70 (to Pétange) and 80 (new Luxembourg–Bettembourg route) for smoother traffic flow
• Removal of the Hollerich stop, paving the way for a future interchange hub to enhance connectivity

These developments form part of the National Mobility Plan 2035, a long-term strategy to reshape Luxembourg’s transport infrastructure and better serve commuters in the Greater Region.

The upgrades are being complemented by major investments in neighbouring France, particularly in the Grand Est region, where authorities aim to boost rail capacity from 9,000 to 22,500 seats by 2030 — a leap made possible through Luxembourg’s co-financing of several cross-border rail projects.

Together, these efforts mark a pivotal step toward a more modern, efficient, and interconnected railway network, strengthening Luxembourg’s position as a central transport hub in Europe.
