S1 (Nuremberg S-Bahn)
The S1 is a service on the Nuremberg S-Bahn. It is long and runs from Bamberg via Erlangen, Fürth and Nuremberg to Hartmannshof. History The line opened on September 26th 1987 with initial service from Nuremberg main station to Lauf (links der Pegnitz). With the December 2010 schedule change, it was extended to Bamberg via Fürth and Erlangen. Upgrades and service extensions In the course of the VDE8 Nuremberg–Erfurt high-speed railway, the existing line between Bamberg and Nuremberg is extended to quadruple tracks. However, within the city boundaries of Fürth this planned upgrade ran into problems. As the original plans called for the two S-Bahn tracks to be laid east of the existing line to connect a (then planned but since scrapped) new industrial development between the cities of Nuremberg Fürth and Erlangen, the existing station of "Vach" would have lost passenger rail service and would have been replaced with two new stations called "Fürth Steinach" and "Fürth Stad ...

Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)
Intercity is the second-highest train classification in Germany, after the ICE. Intercity services are loco-hauled express train services, usually over long-distances. There are Intercity routes throughout Germany, and routes generally operate with a two-hour frequency, with multiple routes giving a more frequent service on core routes. Intercity services are operated by the DB Fernverkehr sector of Deutsche Bahn. The ''Intercity'' name was introduced in Germany in 1971, replacing the old F-Zug category, and was the top category of train in Germany until the introduction of the ICEs in the early 1990s. With the proliferation of ICE services, the role of IC trains has diminished slightly, and they have taken on the character of many former InterRegio trains. Nonetheless, Intercity trains still offer a very high standard of speed and comfort – all services convey first class accommodation, and most include catering – usually a Bistro Cafe, but some services include a restau ...
