With the timetable change next weekend, Deutsche Bahn is expanding its long-distance connections. According to the company, this will create more new connections than at any time in the last 20 years. There will be more and faster connections between major cities and significantly more seats. The regions of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia will also benefit. The new timetable will apply from Sunday (December 10).
The passenger association Pro Bahn sees the changes as positive in that there are almost no cuts. "However, we would be happy if the services that are already in the timetable were provided first," said Markus Haubold, Deputy Chairman of Pro Bahn Mitteldeutschland. There are regularly major cancellations due to staffing problems, among other things. In addition, there are many construction sites with full closures.
