Mayor of Aschaffenburg Urges Deutsche Bahn to Save 7:05 AM ICE 1022 Service

The Mayor of Aschaffenburg, Jürgen Herzing, has raised concerns over the proposed removal of the 7:05 AM ICE 1022 service from Aschaffenburg's transport hub. This move, if implemented, would significantly impact hundreds of commuters who rely on this service to reach Frankfurt.

The ICE 1022 is currently the most heavily used long-distance service at Aschaffenburg's transport hub, connecting passengers from Miltenberg and Aschaffenburg districts to Frankfurt. Commuters face difficulties in switching to regional services toward Hanau due to capacity issues and frequent delays or cancellations, making it an unviable alternative.

Mayor Herzing and local politicians have criticized the exclusion of the 7:05 AM ICE 1022 stop, arguing that it puts commuters at a disadvantage. They have demanded its reinstatement, highlighting the importance of this service in facilitating sustainable transport. In a letter to Deutsche Bahn AG's CEO Evelyn Palla, Mayor Herzing emphasized the need to retain this service, acknowledging its impact on hundreds of commuters who would otherwise be forced to switch to driving.

The potential removal of the 7:05 AM ICE 1022 service from Aschaffenburg's transport hub raises concerns about the impact on commuters and the shift towards sustainable transport. Local authorities have urged Deutsche Bahn to reconsider this decision, emphasizing the importance of this service to the community.
