What this is based on
Arrive inBielefeld →- From the operator's published timetable, valid to 26 Mar 2027. The departure count is for one week of that timetable (the week it was read, early October 2026) and counts every direct departure from Köln to Bielefeld; it is not a daily figure.
- The stations shown are the pair used by the most departures; other stations in either place may also be served.
