Some Trains Running

Posted by Nick B. on 2015-04-22 00:48:28

A quick search of trains from Bamberg - Erlangen (why would anyone want to travel anywhere else!?!?) reveals ICEs are not running, in general, but at least some S-Bahn and RE trains are. Two "live departure" webbies to use seem to be giving realistic info are:
http://www.bahn.de/ris (shows all departures from a given station)
http://www.bahn.de/liveauskunft (shows departures from a given station to a given destination)

So, anyone wanting to leave Bamberg to drink overpriced, sub-par beer in Erlangen ought to be able to use the train to do so today & tomorrow.

There also seems to be a new (?) beta webbie at VGN for real-time departure information, which includes busses:
