New train connection from Regensburg to Munich Airport

[steamboats]

Starting Sunday, Dec 9th, 2018 there´s a new Express train from Regensburg via Landshut and Freising to Munich Airport. The train runs every hour and it takes 75 min for the whole trip (13 min Freising - airport, 35 min Landshut - airport). Of course the train is also going from Munich airport to Regensburg .

 

This is absolutely a first as for the last 26 years Munich airport could be only reached via S-Bahn (suburban train) out of Munich. The new train is also using the underground station at the airport which is currently for S-Bahn only.

 

This might be of interest for those who organize an independent transfer from Munich airport.

I just saw a video report of this new service on the DB site with a link to the schedule.  This is all in German:  https://www.bahn.de/regional/view/regionen/bayern/info/flughafenverkehr-regio-bayern.shtml

Good start into this new service... Train staff is on strike today!! Almost no trains are running all over Germany. My office is pretty empty as all the commuters stay at home.

Just a four hour warning strike on the railroads this time?  Could be more warning strikes before they settle with management.

Yes, it was just a warning strike from 5 am til 9 am. But all traffic more or less broke down. No suburban trains in Munich. No trains to the airport at all.

 

Many of my collegues did not get to the office.

 

I hope they will settle with the management soon. So far no warning strikes announced.
