RB 12 – frequent cancellations between Frankfurt Höchst and Frankfurt Hbf

Due to an understaffed signal box, the RB 12 will only run between Königstein and Frankfurt Höchst between 20:00 and 23:50 until further notice (the Frankfurt Höchst – Frankfurt Hbf section will be omitted). Passengers can alternatively use the S1, the journey time is extended by around 10 minutes.
Please click here for the timetable.

Due to this understaffing of the dispatchers at DB InfraGo, we are often unable to run between Frankfurt Höchst and Frankfurt Hbf, even at short notice. The safety, efficiency and coordination provided by the dispatcher are essential for the operation of trains. For this reason, we do not receive a driver’s license when shifts are not occupied. Passengers are asked to check the connection information in the RMVgo app or on rmv.de before setting off.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
