Following complaints from Reichertshausen, Deutsche Bahn has clarified that the two-hour service at the Paindorf rail stop will not be further thinned out. In addition, recent incidents in which trains passed through despite scheduled stops are to be officially reviewed.
Quick overview
This report is particularly relevant for rail travelers because it can have concrete effects on planning, connections, or infrastructure. The focus is on Deutsche Bahn, Paindorf, Reichertshausen, Munich-Nuremberg, timetable, rail stop, CSU, and public transport. The key points are summarized below.
Key points
- Mayor Bertram-Pfister (SPD) and MdB Christian Moser (CSU) had turned to DB with concerns about the Paindorf rail stop.
- According to Moser, Deutsche Bahn confirms that the existing two-hour service at the Paindorf stop will be maintained and will not be further reduced.
- Several reported cases in which trains passed through Paindorf despite scheduled stops are now to be officially investigated by DB.
- The ticket machine at Paindorf station has been out of service for some time – this too was raised with DB.
- Affected passengers reportedly sometimes have to continue on to Pfaffenhofen and return, resulting in significant time losses.
What this means for travelers
For travelers, it is worth taking a close look at the time period, route, and booking conditions. The key question is whether the report already triggers concrete timetable changes or whether it primarily describes a political or strategic development.
Context
The clarification came after a conversation between MdB Moser and the advisor to Deutsche Bahn’s Group Authorized Representative for the Free State of Bavaria. A joint press release from the municipality of Reichertshausen and the member of the Bundestag was issued on 26.07.2026.
What to watch now
- Check concrete timetable or construction information only once travel dates are set.
- Allow more generous connection times for international journeys.
- Monitor the source and operator information in case dates are still provisional.
