The entire route is controlled from a newly established electronic control centre at Nürnberg-Eibach,[REF] which was put into operation on 8 May 2001.
Following a planning revision, an S-Bahn line was created that alternates between single and double track, running between Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof and Nuremberg-Eibach to the west and between Nuremberg-Reichelsdorf and the terminus at Roth to the east of the main line.
