The new Deutsche Bahn schedule in Germany brings more frequent services on routes between Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin and Munich, as well as between Leipzig, Jena, and Nuremberg. Additionally, there will be a second direct high-speed ICE connection between Berlin and Vienna.
The new schedule of Deutsche Bahn in Germany
In the Saale Valley (Saxony-Anhalt), there will now be five IC trains per day, compared to only one previously.
Magdeburg will receive its first connection to Hamburg and more direct trains to Berlin and Rostock.
As part of a joint initiative with Austrian national railway services and other railway companies, Deutsche Bahn also offers night trains between Berlin, Brussels, and Paris three times a week.
The first of these so-called 'night flights' will depart from the capital on Monday evening.
Tickets for the new schedule from December 10 have been available since October, but starting Sunday, there will be a fare increase, resulting in a 4.9% average rise for 'flexible tickets,' which give passengers more choice on which train to board.
The price of the Bahncard 25 (providing a 25% discount on each booked train journey) has also increased, now costing 3 euros more at 62.90 euros per year.
However, the Bahncard 50 (halving the price of individual tickets), as well as the economy and super-economy tickets, remains unchanged.
