Going By Bus Instead of Train for a While: Renovations on DB Track between Regensburg and Schwandorf
Service transitioning passengers between Regensburg and Schwandorf via bus - Bus service instead of train for travel between Regensburg and Schwandorf
Hey there! Here's a heads-up for all train travelers in the Upper Palatinate region: Deutsche Bahn (DB) is giving the track between the cities of Regensburg and Schwandorf a well-deserved facelift. Starting June 15, you'll be hopping on a bus instead of a train for around 30 minutes longer on this route due to the renovation.
This is just the beginning of an upgrade process for the track that runs from Regensburg all the way to Weiden. Over the next few weeks, the railway company will be revamping the tracks, switches, and crossings on the approximately 87-kilometer section, investing 127 million euros to improve train traffic quality and punctuality.
This route is a lifeline for students, commuters, and travelers alike, as it's a vital part of the North-South route that connects seaports to the Alps. Given its heavy usage and susceptibility to disruptions, this renovation couldn't come soon enough.
Once the work on the Regensburg-Schwandorf section is finished, the next stop will be the track between Irrenlohe and Weiden.
