Luxembourg has had free nationwide public transport since March 2020, but first class and every cross-border leg still carry a fare, and the ticketing system changed on 1 January 2026.
Luxembourg's national railway CFL has laid out its heaviest works calendar in years: nearly 30km of track renewed in 2026, with closures concentrated in every school holiday and replacement buses running on the routes to Thionville, Arlon and Trier. The programme opens a 15-year, €4.7bn infrastructure contract signed in December 2025, cementing Luxembourg's position as Europe's top per-capita rail investor.
Luxembourg recorded its hottest June day since observations began in 1947, with 36.3°C at Findel on 25 June, as a record-breaking heatwave gripped France, the UK and much of Western Europe and triggered red alerts and emergency measures at home.
A red-alert heatwave deformed track near Berchem on 22 June 2026, forcing Luxembourg's CFL to cancel and slow trains on its Esch-sur-Alzette and Thionville–Metz lines, hitting cross-border commuters as rail networks across Europe cut services.
On the night of 23 June 2026, a failure of Deutsche Bahn's GSM-R digital train radio forced every train in Germany to a standstill for roughly two and a half hours. Long-distance ICE services and city S-Bahn networks alike were held at platforms before a backup system restored operations after midnight. Because the regular Luxembourg–Trier–Koblenz services run on the same German network, the episode underlined how exposed Greater Region mobility is to a single technical fault.
