==Regular services not in the ''Kursbuch''==
==Regular services not in the ''Kursbuch''==
The following lines are not included in the online DB ''Kursbuch'', but timetables can be found on the websites shown. Long-distance services appear in some, but not all, tables in the ''Kursbuch'' where they would be expected to be found, so the [https://int.bahn.de/en DB journey planner] or the [https://www.europeanrailtimetable.eu/ European Rail Timetable] is often the best guide to these.
The following lines are not included in the DB ''Kursbuch'', though some have a frequent service.  Timetables can be found on the websites shown. Many ''ICE'', ''IC'' and cross-border services do not appear in the ''Kursbuch'' either, so the [http://www.europeanrailtimetable.eu/ European Rail Timetable] is the best guide to these. Urban metro systems are not included in this list.
 
'''Note''': Owing to the volume of new entries to this table, links are not shown for many of these. They will be added in due course.

Revision as of 14:54, 2 July 2025

Introduction

Owing to the size and complexity of the German railway system, the Obscure Services listing is subdivided by Land (Province). Berlin and Bremen are separate Länder, but it is convenient to include them with Brandenburg and Niedersachsen respectively. Details of Other Sparse Services, Services not included in the DB Kursbuch and Deletions since previous edition can be found below.

The stations at which long-distance trains start and terminate may vary, depending on the date. Where there are more than two possibilities, such as a train terminating at Kassel, Hannover or Hamburg, only the shortest and longest itineraries are indicated in the lists on this site.

A brief Guide to German railway terminology is available.

This list is based on the timetable dated from 13 December 2020 to 11 December 2021, unless otherwise stated.
