These were bought by the former Deutsche Bundesbahn specifically for the winding track. Since the 2006/2007 timetable change, Bayreuth has no longer been connected to the DB's long-distance network.The Franken-Sachsen-Express used to provide a direct connection to Dresden from December 2007 until December 2013 every two hours. The technology used for this was the Class 612 diesel multiple set. Since then these services run only from Nürnberg Hbf to Hof Hbf.
