RE22 Regensburg-Munich Airport is operated by DB and Agilis. Both companies bought Mireos for this line, and they run them even coupled together.

When I was there last year, there were two temporary speed restrictions, not helping at all. Are there plans to upgrade it to four tracks, as fare as I know it's part of the "an IC every ten minutes" plus Sprinters and freight trains...

And it's also significantly cheaper then in the UK...

No, it's a post-reunification issue. Years of underinvestment in the old states after the reunification and lack of money and man-power due to unprecedented investments in the five new states. But we see light at the end of the tunnel, I opened a thread in 12/24 about the General-renovation in...

Problem of Cologne is less the station but the Hohenzollner-Bridge infront of it, the mother of all bottlenecks. It has six tracks only, two of them are for S-Bahns only, so all regional- and long-distance services to a city with one million inhabitants have to use just four tracks. And the...

According to Strecken-Info the line reopens 23.06.25 05:00 o'clock.

ICE 563 dep. Stuttgart Hbf 10:51, arr. Munich Hbf 12:53 is a ICE3neo, that has been on time in 68% in the last month, the average delay was 4'. Zugfinder.net

In an national effort the likes of which the world has never seen before and will probably never see again, the German people raised the infrastructure in the five new states, which were scarred by 40 years of communism, not just to the level of the old Federal Republic, but even above it! Cab...

According to bahn.de the mentioned RJX runs from Passau only, non stop to Munich, nearly impossible... I guess DB didn't upload the new ÖBB schedule, valid from 10.10, when they reopen the second track of the old West-line.

Where do you have the information from with Passau? RJX Vienna-Munich were never supposed to run via Passau... This is the valid ÖBB timetable from 10.10 on. It shows your RJX departing Vienna at 07:57 and arriving in Munich at 12:32 o'clock.

TRI Train Rental, a company from Franconia, running replacement services on MEX 12 Stuttgart-Tübingen for SWEG. I'm not sure but I guess it has to do with the "Digital Knot" Stuttgart, DB and SWEG have reduced train avaliabitly because of ETCS upgrades of their fleet....

One of the three guards is the boss (Zugchef) of the other two, so when the doors the two guards are responsible for are closed correctly, they wave a red baton towards the Zugchef, who, after his door is also closed correctly, informs the driver via his phone, that the train is ready to depart.

Stuggi would be the local dialect, so nothing wrong with it! :) do you guys of another please where heavy long distance trains entering platforms from a 35 Promille ramp, we will see how it works out in practice... Stuttgart is suffering from massive engineering works in connection with the...

Dutch NS announced a ticket hike of 8,7% plus inflation today...:rolleyes: So a 2h trip from Amsterdam to beautiful Groningen, what is already 30€ today, would set you back 33€ plus 1€ for the chip card then...o_O But just in case there is no incident in Meppel, what would cut of two provinces...

19€ Sparpreis for IC(E)s if you book in advance, 49€ Deutschlandticket per month for ALL public transport, exceptional customer rights with full flexibility if a train in more than 20' delayed, one of the highest network coverages in the world, despite an investment-backlog of hundreds of...
