Introduction
This list is based on the timetable dated from 13 December 2020 to 11 December 2021, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information. Map references relate to the 2017 issue of the Schweers+Wall Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland.
Obscure services
Grimmenthal – Ritschenhausen
[570, 815] (79C1) DE21/551
This line is used by RE7 services between Erfurt Hbf, Schweinfurt Hbf and Würzburg Hbf, to avoid reversal at Meiningen. These run every two hours, non-stop between Grimmenthal and Mellrichstadt Bf. Departures are at 35 minutes past every even hour from Grimmenthal and 6 minutes past every odd hour from Mellrichstadt Bf.
Grimmenthal: connections at west and east ends of station
[570] (67D4) DE21/552
Just west of Grimmenthal station, the Meiningen – Themar line crosses over the Schweinfurt – Suhl line, each route having its own platforms at Grimmenthal. It is not possible for trains to run direct between Schweinfurt and Themar, but connecting spurs at the west and east ends of the station enable through running between Meiningen and Suhl. Most trains between Meiningen and Suhl are scheduled to use the western connection, but the following use the eastern one:
| SSuX | RB81269/81111 | Zella-Mehlis - 06:13 Rohr (Thür) - Eisenach | |
| SSuX | RB81272 | Meiningen - 04:15 Grimmenthal - Erfurt |
The 06:13 Rohr (Thür) runs as RB81269 up to Grimmenthal, thence as RB81111
Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions
Gotha Ost - Seebergen (Gotha Abzw Gk W)
[604, 605] (68A2) DE20/581
This north to east curve enables trains between Göttingen and Erfurt to run directly between Bad Langensalza and Neudietendorf without needing to reverse at Gotha. This diversion does not happen very often, but the route may also be used on occasions when there is engineering work between Erfurt and Bad Langensalza via Döllstädt.
Hopfgarten (b Weimar) - Oßmannstedt (Weimar Stw W1) via Weimar Gbf
[580] (68C1) DE20/582
This line, which avoids Weimar Hbf to the north, is used by RE services if there is engineering work blocking Weimar Hbf. It was last used in September 2019.
Großheringen - Camburg (Abzw Großheringen Ghs)
[560] (69A1) DE20/583
All services between Naumburg (Saale) and Jena which used this west to south curve via Großheringen station were re-routed via the direct avoiding curve at the December 2018 timetable change. However because of engineering work, RB25 services between Naumburg (Saale) Hbf and Saalfeld (Saale) are diverted via Großheringen station (reverse) and this curve between 1 June and 14 July 2020.
