Long-distance railay services are running once again in much of southern Germany following the current flooding, according to the current service updates.

By Thursday, flood-related constraints had actually been raised on the Ulm-Augsburg-Munich path in Bavaria, while a formerly limited path in between Augsburg and the town of Donauwörth no longer noted any disturbances or closures.

Nevertheless, the Eurocity Express connection from Munich to the Swiss city of Zurich stayed closed, as did the Intercity Express path in between the cities of Nuremberg and Würzburg. The detour is anticipated to include around 25 minutes to the journey.

Hold-ups and cancellations due to path closures continued to obstruct local rail traffic in Bavaria on Thursday.
