Stuttgart (dpa/lsw) - With the upcoming timetable change on December 11, rail travelers in the south-west will have a number of additional long-distance connections. There is growth, especially from Munich in the direction of Stuttgart and beyond, as Deutsche Bahn announced on Monday.
According to Bahn, the route between Munich and Stuttgart will be served by 90 trains per day in one direction or the other. That's 20 more than before. In addition, some of the connections will be 15 minutes faster due to the new high-speed line between Wendlingen and Ulm. New ICE 3neo trains will then be gradually deployed here. This means that there is a direct ICE connection between Munich and Cologne twice an hour - once via Stuttgart and once via Nuremberg.
However, the railway also expects obstacles from construction sites. Some connections would have to be temporarily adjusted, it said. Details on the new timetable and tickets will be available from Wednesday.
