New lines
Mosbach as well as the whole region profits from the new timetable offer.  The S-1 will have in Osterburken every two hours a connection to and from  Würzburg - and with that a link to the long-distance traffic direction north.  There is of course also a connection in Mannheim to the long-distance net.
Neckarelz has short transfers from and to Stuttgart. As hitherto the fast regional express trains will travel between Heilbronn and Mannheim very two hours with the stops only in Neckarsulm, Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld, Neckarelz, Eberbach and Heidelberg.
Double-decker trains to Stuttgart will still run so that the county capital can be reached hourly from Neckarelz.
