History

The Allersberg-Express is to be integrated as of December 2018 as S5 line in the system of the Nuremberg S-Bahn.[1] For this purpose, a request for tender for a 12-year transport contract was made in mid-2013, which will provide annually seven million train kilometers.[2] The timetable is expected to remain largely unchanged, and new vehicles will be used on the line. The Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft renounced according to own data for cost reasons to announce the new offer together with the München-Nürnberg-Express. An extension, for example to Ansbach, will be examined.[3] In January 2015, the Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft announced that the National Express Germany had won both lots of the Nuremberg S-Bahn and thus also the Allersberg-Express and will operate this from December 2018.[4][5] On 19 December 2016, it was decided that DB Regio Franken would continue operating the S5 line from 2018 onwards.
