Trains No More: Bustle to Buses on the Regensburg-Schwandorf Route!
Train Shuttle Linking Regensburg and Schwandorf by Road - Train service suspended; road shuttle takes over between Regensburg and Schwandorf
Hey there, folks! If you're planning on taking the train in Upper Palatinate, you'll want to buckle up for some curveballs. Deutsche Bahn (DB), our trusty railway company, is revamping the track between Regensburg and Schwandorf, and that means closures are looming! Get ready for some good ol' replacement bus rides starting from June 15th till August 22nd. Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy (but not all bad!) 30-minute longer ride.
This overhaul kicks off the modernization of the track extending from Regensburg to Weiden. That's a whopping 87-kilometer stretch of tracks, switches, and level crossings that'll be spruced up for a cool €127 million. The aim? Improve the overall quality and punctuality of our train traffic, making those delays a thing of the past (well, sorta).
Why's this route getting some extra TLC? It's a lifeline for students, commuters, and travelers, the railway company says. And it plays a pivotal role in the North-South route, linking seaports to the Alps. This route's infrastructure is bustling and prone to disruptions, so they're making it stronger and more reliable.
After the makeover on Regensburg-Schwandorf, the focus shifts to the track between Irrenlohe and Weiden. Stay tuned, folks!
So, Regensburg and Schwandorf commuters, say goodbye to those comfortable train seats for a while and embrace the adventure of bus rides! And hey, who knows? Maybe you'll make some new friends along the way!
