VGN Freizeitlinien

That is, the special summer break bus lines running from May to October. There was a page in the paper about the lines starting up, including a map that I couldn't recall seeing before. And here it is on the VGN webbie. (VGN being the Verkehrsgroßraum Nürnberg, the regional mass transit authority.)

Zoom in to see where the various lines cover. Green = trains, purple = Freizeitlinien, orange = normal lines that run on holidays & weekends. AFAIK the Freizeitlinien run on Sundays & holidays, not on weekdays. But I've not made a study of it, nor am I going to unless someone has a specific question about one.

But confusingly, they call the 265 a Freizeitlinie, though it also runs daily, year round. I guess just extra times on Sundays & holidays during summer?

Another cycling idea for Barry: Eggolsheim to Uehlfeld, by way of Aisch (Rittmayer). Bit long, but work your way up to it.
