The Schwandorf station is named after the Regensburg Train Station, the most important regional transport hub in the Upper Palatinate and one of the two still operated stations of the city Schwandorf. It is divided into Category 4 with the Deutsche Bahn.

History

The station was taken on December 12, 1859 by the AG Bayerische Ostbahnen with the opening of the railway line between Nuremberg and Regensburg Schwandorf - in operation. Even just four years later, on October 1, 1863, the railway line Schwandorf pastures was handed over to their destination, which was extended in 1865 to Eger. After a connection to Cham was inaugurated on January 7, 1861, the route from the autumn of the same year was continuous over navigable Furth im Wald and Pilsen to Prague. Thus ran through the city two routes in north-south and east-west direction. These lines still exist today, where you Schwandorf can no longer be called " railway town ", as was the case earlier.

Infrastructure and equipment

The station now has eleven main tracks, five of which are used in passenger transport. The main platform and the two island platforms are 38 cm high and thereby do not offer conditions for barrier-free entry conditions. In the reception building, a newsagent, a bakery and a shop for travel needs are accommodated with a bistro next to a ticket window.

Transport links

Daily train at Schwandorf station about a hundred trains.

Next to the station there is a bus station, run by the buses to all parts of the city and the surrounding towns. A park - and-ride facilities and a taxi stand are also available at the station.

Station Irrenlohe

In the north of the city, in the district Irlaching, is still the Irrenlohe station, which is located in the railway station Category 6. The composer Franz Schreker in 1919 during the passage inspired by the train station to his opera Irrelohe.

The station was also written with the connection from Regensburg to Nuremberg. With the turn towards Weiden also Irrenlohe to a small transportation hub was. This was also the reason why the village was bombed in World War II.

Why the Irrenlohe station and not Irlaching is, is that the Irlachinger population showed no great interest in railway connection and therefore the construction of the station was paid by Irrenlohe.

The station has five main tracks, including three platform tracks. Passenger transport is by:

• Schwandorf -Regensburg ( every two hours, VBG )
• Willow Marktredwitz ( hourly, VBG )
• Schwandorf -Regensburg ( once daily, RE)

Others

In the southern district of Schwandorf Klardorf also exists a train station, where, however, no longer hold any passenger trains of June 2, 1985. As part of the project Danube Moldova train a southeastern bypass curve Schwandorfs is planned, which makes the recent change in direction of trains running from Munich to Prague trains superfluous and should thus lead to a shorter journey times.
