Introduction

This list is based on the timetable in force from 14 December 2014 until 12 December 2015, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.

In the heading to each entry the map reference for the line in the Schweers+Wall Eisenbahn Atlas (2007/2008 edition) is shown, in italic, in addition to the reference to M.G. Ball's European Railway Atlas.

Obscure services

Gemünden (Main) (Wernfeld) – Waigolshausen

[800, 810] (51B1-51B2, 78A4-79B4) DE15/651

This line, which is about 35 km long, provides a more direct route between Gemünden (Main) and Schweinfurt than the main line via Würzburg or the branch lines via Bad Kissingen. It is likely to be used by excursions, particularly steam trains, between the Frankfurt area and Meiningen or Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg, because it is a suitable place for photographic stops and run-pasts.

E SSuO RE58331 Aschaffenburg Hbf – 09:06 Gemünden (Main ) – Bamberg
E SSuO RE58332 Bamberg – 18:21 Schweinfurt Hbf – Aschaffenburg Hbf

Hersbruck (rechts Pegnitz) – Pommelsbrunn

[820] (60A3, 90A3) DE15/652

This spur links the lines leading east from Nürnberg on each bank of the Pegnitz. It is used by trains between Nürnberg Hbf and Neukirchen (b Sulzbach-Rosenberg) that call at Hersbruck (rechts Pegnitz) or are non-stop. Principal use is by RE services between Nürnberg, Schwandorf and Neustadt (Waldnaab).

Trebgast (Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg Süd) – Marktschorgast (Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg Ost) (Schlömener Kurve)

[860] (53A2 not shown, 81B3) DE15/653

This south to north curve, opened in 2001, connects the Bayreuth and Hof lines, avoiding Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg. It is used by RE trains between Nürnberg and Hof via Bayreuth. These mostly run every two hours (four hours at weekends).

Feuchtwangen - Dombühl

(59A2, 96B1) DE15/654

The Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum Nördlingen operates regular, if occasional, trains over the Nördlingen - Dinkelsbühl - Feuchtwangen line. However the section northwards to Dombühl has in recent years seen trains only for the Dinkelsbühler Weihnachtsmarkt (Dinkelsbühl Christmas market) on Sundays in Advent. These services tend to be advertised only at relatively short notice and do not appear to have operated in 2014. They may be advertised on the home page but users should also click on the "Termine" tab on the left of the page.

Ingolstadt Hbf – Weichering and Schrobenhausen (Seehof Bbf)

[983,993] (60A1 not shown, 97D4) DE15/655

The lines to Ingolstadt from Augsburg and from Donauwörth join at Seehof Bbf and then split into two independent single tracks forming a flying junction with the main line from München. Crossovers south of Ingolstadt Hbf mean that all platforms are accessible from both routes, but the branch trains do not normally cross the main line on the flat. Trains to platforms 5, 6 and 7, on the east side of Ingolstadt Hbf use the flyover, but those to platforms 1, 2 and 2a on the west side do not. The hourly trains to and from Augsburg mostly use platforms 1, 2 and 2a, and the direct spur from Seehof Bbf. Trains to and from Donauwörth depart from both sets of platforms. Booked departure platforms can be ascertained from the DB Hafas journey planner (see General Information).

Augsburg-Oberhausen – Neusäß (Augsburg-Hirblinger Straße)

[980] (70B3, 163C3) DE15/656

There are two routes, that from the east side of (and flying over) the Donauwörth line being used by most trains. The other, from the west side of the Donauwörth line, is used by trains between the Ulm line and platforms 7, 8 or 9 at Augsburg Hbf.

Leienfelsstrasse (Abzw. Pasing West) – Abzw. Pasing Nord – München Hbf (Abzw München Kanal) (via the Abstellbahn line)

[970] (66A2, 164B3-164D3) DE15/657

The normal route for trains between Buchloe and München Hbf is by a flyover over the Starnberg line S-Bahn tracks (S8) west of Pasing, through platforms 1 to 3 there and thence to the north side platforms at Hauptbahnhof via the Fernbahn line from Starnberg (line 5504). The following EC trains between München and Zürich via Lindau are booked to use an alternative route. From Abzw. Pasing West this dives under the Augsburg line, passes north of Pasing station and joins the Ingolstadt main line at Abzw. Kanal.

EC191 Zürich HB - 10:43 Buchloe - München Hbf
D1 ICE783 Hamburg-Altona - 10:30 Nürnberg Hbf - München Hbf
EC193 Zürich HB - 12:43 Buchloe - München Hbf
D1 ICE787 Hamburg-Altona - 14:30 Nürnberg Hbf - München Hbf
EC195 Zürich HB - 16:43 Buchloe - München Hbf
D1 ICE789 Hamburg-Altona - 16:30 Nürnberg Hbf - München Hbf
D1 ICE881 Hamburg-Altona - 19:38 Augsburg Hbf - München Hbf

EC194 12.33 München Hbf - Zürich HB
D1 ICE786 13:47 München Hbf - Hamburg-Altona
EC192 16.33 München Hbf - Zürich HB
EC190 18.33 München Hbf - Zürich HB
D FO IC2017 Hannover Hbf - 20:47 Augsburg Hbf - München Hbf

D1: Uses this route when not advertised to call at Ingolstadt. ICE786 does not use this route when advertised to start at 13:50.

D2: Uses this route on Saturdays and Sundays when not advertised to call at Ingolstadt, also on 14 May 2015.

Note that IC2017 and the diverted ICEtrains use the connection from the Augsburg line at Abzw. Pasing Nord and hence do not cover the section between Abzw. Pasing West and Abzw. Pasing Nord

München-Pasing (Abzw. Landsberger Straße) – Abzw. Friedenheimer Brücke – München Ost (München Süd)

[980] (66A2, 164B3-165A4) DE15/658

Most trains from the Augsburg direction not calling at München Hbf follow the main line from München-Pasing as it dives under the S-Bahn and Starnberg tracks. They branch south on to the avoiding line at Abzw. Landsberger Straße and continue via Abzw. Friedenheimer Brücke to join the main line from München Hbf to München Ost at München Süd.

IC2083 Hamburg-Altona – 13:59 München-Pasing – Berchtesgaden Hbf
IC2082 Berchtesgaden Hbf – 11:17 München Ost – Hamburg-Altona
21 Feb NF13422 Zell am See - 20:00 Rosenheim - Bruxelles-Midi

Note that line S20 services (peak hour trains between München-Pasing and Höllriegelskreuth) use line 5521 from Pasing and then run parallel to this route as far as München-Heimeranplatz before branching off to join the Holzkirchen line at München-Mittersendling.

München-Pasing – München-Laim Rbf – Abzw. Friedenheimer Brücke – München-Ost (München Süd)

[980] (66A2, 164B3-165A4) DE15/659

As an alternative to DE15/658, trains from Augsburg may branch north at München-Pasing, cross over the Ingolstadt and Landshut lines, pass München-Laim Rbf and (east of Laim S-Bahn station) cross under the lines serving München Hbf to join route DE15/658 at Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke.

D1 SuO ICE708 13:10 München Ost - Hamburg Altona

D1: 14 December 2014 to 22 March and 30 August to 6 December 2015

München-Allach (Abzw. Obermenzing) – München-Laim Rbf – Abzw. Friedenheimer Brücke – München-Ost (München Süd)

[990] (66A2, 164C3-165A4) DE15/660

This route enables trains to run between the Ingolstadt line and München-Ost without reversal at München Hbf. It branches off the Ingolstadt line south of Obermenzing S-Bahn station, crosses over the Landshut line and drops down to Laim Rbf, where it joins route DE15/659

13 Feb NF13423 Bruxelles Midi - 21:45 Verviers Central - Zell am See

München Nordring: Olching – Rbf München Nord – München-Johanneskirchen and München-Daglfing – Gronsdorf (Abzw. München-Waldtrudering)

(66A2-66B3, 166B2-167B3) DE15/661

This line runs round the north and east sides of München from Olching (on the Augsburg line) to Abzw München-Waldtrudering, east of Trudering on the Rosenheim line. There are connections from the Ingolstadt line at the west end of Rbf München Nord, to the Landshut line east of Rbf München Nord and from München-Daglfing towards München Ost. The section between München-Johanneskirchen and München-Daglfing is used by S-Bahn trains on route S8, but otherwise no use is made of this line by passenger services, except for:

Olching (Augsburg line) – München-Feldmoching (Landshut line)

D SO NF13460 Budapest-Nyugati – 14:04 Wien Westbf – Calais Ville

D: Only on 2 May and 24 October 2015. The train is timetabled to reach Feldmoching (via Passau and Plattling) at 20:44. For prices and reservation see the VSOE website.

The Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum usually runs Nikolausfahrten rund um München in December. These run via the Nording and in past years have usually been routed via München-Moosach. Dates of operation in 2014 were 6, 7, 13 and 14 December, with departures from München Ost at 10:00, 11:30, 13:30 and 15:00. As well as the Nordring east from München-Moosach these trains also use connection between the S-Bahn and Mühldorf lines at Riedenburgerstrasse and the route between München Süd and München-Neulustheim (on the Landshut line) via Laim Rbf.

Rosenheim avoiding line: Bad Endorf (Abzw Rosenheim Ost) – Pfraundorf (Inn) (Abzw Rosenheim Süd)

[ÖBB 300] (71A2, 112A) DE15/662

This east to south curve linking the Salzburg and Wörgl lines provides a through route between Salzburg and Kufstein for Austrian Korridorzüge, which run non-stop through Germany. They are not included in the DB Kursbuch, but are those shown in the ÖBB Fahrpläne (table 300) calling at both Kufstein and Salzburg Hbf.
