The year 2024 brought some changes to Austria: The Westbahn increased the number of connections to Innsbruck. A new daily connection to Bregenz was also introduced. It has more stops than the RailjetXpress connections, such as Hohenems, Frastanz or Nenzing. The daily connection from Innsbruck to Bregenz, Stuttgart and further to Germany is now realised … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Austria 2024
Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
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). As the number and variety of connections is increasing, the main axes count more and more lines, whereas the … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
Long-distance Trains in Austria 2023
A new country has joined my collection. This new map includes the long-distance trains in Austria. Its design is the same as in most of my other maps. However, there is one major difference. The diagonal axes are not in an angle of 45° but 26° from the horizontal axis. In this way, most main … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Austria 2023

Fahrplanwechsel! I have updated the long-distance train map of Germany again. It shows the systematic ICE, IC and EC trains in Germany. You can find the older version here.

Again, I created an updated transport map for the long-distance trains in Germany. The map combines all systematic ICE, IC and EC trains. You can find the older versions from 2019 and 2020 on my blog. The timetables changed only slightly. In December 2020, additional trains between Hamburg and Berlin (ICE 29) as well as … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2021
The “Deutschlandtakt”
The German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure elaborated a concept to double passenger capacity until 2030. The number of trains is going to increase and the majority of the long-distance train lines will be rearranged. On the official website (German only), extensive netgraphs can be downloaded. Unfortunately, these graphs do not allow to … Continue reading The “Deutschlandtakt”
Long-distance Trains in Germany 2020
In order to provide a map according to the current timetables and to improve the design I have updated the long-distance train map for Germany from 2019. The timetables only changed slightly in December 2019. New are for example the IC 17 line from Warnemünde to Dresden as such as the increased number of ICE … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2020
Long-distance Trains in Germany 2019
This network map shows the long-distance train network in Germany. DB created their own networks for both EC/IC and ICE trains (links below). 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
