For the 2024 version of the long-distance rail map in Germany, I have totally rebuilt the map. It still shows the systematic long-distance trains in Germany (e.g. all connections that run at least three times daily).

However, these maps include almost every single train with the full varieties of served lines and stops. As an alternative, my map focuses on the main long-distance train lines (at least two … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2019
