This Germany’s BRAND NEW Regional High Speed Train is a Game Changer! Here's Why
This… is Germany’s fastest regional train, the brand-new RE29. This game-changing train connects Nuremberg, Bamberg, Coburg, and Erfurt, covering the 236 km distance in just under two hours instead of the usual 3. Running at 120 miles per hour (190kmh), this train is not only faster but is now the only regional train in Germany operating on the section traditionally reserved for long-distance services. But what makes the RE29 stand out from the rest? Could this be the future of regional travel in Germany? How will this new service impact daily commutes and intercity connections? And most importantly, how does this breakthrough redefine what regional train travel can achieve in terms of speed and convenience? Let’s find out!
This Germany’s BRAND NEW Regional High Speed Train is a Game Changer! Here's Why
Before the RE29, locals traveling between Nuremberg and Erfurt had few options for quick and affordable transportation. The 3 billion euro northern section of the VDE 8.1 rail line was mainly used by long-distance trains like the ICE, which, while fast, was often costly for many travelers. Those unable to afford the high ticket prices of the ICE were forced to rely on slower regional services, extending their travel time significantly.
The introduction of the RE29, Germany's fastest regional train, is nothing short of revolutionary. With its launch, the Franconia-Thuringia Express (FTX) has completely transformed travel between Bavaria and Thuringia, redefining what regional trains can achieve. Operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB), the RE29 is blazing a trail along the Nuremberg-Erfurt high-speed line, offering a level of speed and efficiency previously reserved for long-distance trains. The impact is immediate, the benefits undeniable—this train is truly a game-changer.

The route of the RE29 offers passengers a unique and scenic experience along the Erfurt to Nuremberg high-speed line, with some fascinating diversions along the way. After departing from Erfurt, the train quickly accelerates as it enters the high-speed section toward Nuremberg, a line that has been in operation since December 2017. Early in the journey, the RE29 diverges to Coburg, providing exclusive views of the surrounding landscape, before rejoining the main high-speed line further along. As the high-speed portion ends at Ebensfeld, the train transitions onto the main line, making stops at key stations before arriving in Nuremberg.
The RE29 connects the cities of Nuremberg, Bamberg, Coburg, and Erfurt in record time, cutting travel times by half. What once took nearly four hours with multiple transfers now takes just 1 hour and 53 minutes on a direct, change-free route. The most dramatic improvement is seen on the Coburg to Erfurt leg. Due to the IC train not providing the service, passengers had to endure a two-hour journey now arriving in just 36 minutes—a mind-blowing reduction that showcases the game-changing nature of this train. In the past, such efficiency was unthinkable for a regional route, but the RE29 has shattered expectations.
