Rhein-Münsterland-Express
The Rhein-Münsterland-Express (RE 7) is a Regional-Express service in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The hourly service initially runs to the south east from Krefeld via Neuss to Cologne and then turns to run to the northeast via Solingen, Wuppertal, Hagen to Münster. Every two hours it continues to Rheine. History Today's RE 7 is the successor to the former ''StädteExpress'' line SE from Aachen via Cologne and Wuppertal to Munster. From 1998, under the original version of North Rhine-Westphalia’s integrated timetable (ITF 1), the service ran between Düren and Munster. With the introduction of ITF 2 in December 2002, the line was extended at both ends to Aachen and to Rheine.
