Editing Bayreuth (section)

====Railways====
From [[Bayreuth Hauptbahnhof|Bayreuth Central Station]] (''Hauptbahnhof'') railway lines run north [[Bayreuth–Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg railway|to Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg]], and from there to Bamberg and over the [[Schiefe Ebene]] to Hof, east [[Bayreuth–Warmensteinach railway|to Weidenberg]], southeast [[Weiden–Bayreuth railway|to Weiden]] and south [[Schnabelwaid–Bayreuth railway|to Schnabelwaid]] with connections to [[Nuremberg]] on the [[Nuremberg–Cheb railway|Pegnitz Valley Railway]]. The lines around Bayreuth are all single-tracked and non-electrified.

Since 23 May 1992 [[tilting train|tilting]] [[DB Class 610|Class 610]] [[diesel multiple units]] have worked the Pegnitz Valley route. These were bought by the former [[Deutsche Bundesbahn]] specifically for the winding track.

Since a 2006/2007 timetable change, Bayreuth has no longer been connected to the DB's long-distance network. However, the [[Franken-Sachsen-Express]] still provides a direct connection to Dresden (since December 2007, every two hours). This service is worked by [[DBAG Class 612|Class 612]] diesel multiple units. There are also [[Regional-Express]] links via [[Lichtenfels, Bavaria|Lichtenfels]] to [[Bamberg]] and [[Würzburg]], and via Lichtenfels and [[Kronach]] to [[Saalfeld]].
