 Besides Intercity, EuroCity and CityNightLine services, Intercity-Express (ICE ) trains run from Munich towards Stuttgart and Nuremberg.With the opening of the Nuremberg–Ingolstadt–Munich high-speed line in June 2006 and its full integration into the German ICE network at the timetable change in December 2006, some of the ICE services—30 of 120 long-distance services then stopping in Augsburg—were transferred from Augsburg to Ingolstadt.As a replacement for some of the long-distance trains, the Allgäu-Franken-Express was created with four daily pairs of trains and an ICE-like journey time between Nuremberg and Augsburg.
