Long-distance passenger rail transport
The Hanover Central Station is one of the most important train stations in Germany. This is because two of the most important railway lines in Germany meet, namely the north-south connection Hamburg - Munich and the east-west connection Berlin - Cologne with all their variants. This makes the station an important transfer station because there are countless trains in all directions. The station takes care of over 250,000 local and long-distance travelers every day.
ICE lines in Hanover
The ICE 10 line
The ICE 10 line is used by trains in the series ICE 2 which consists of two identical trains that can be automatically coupled together to form a complete train. This allows the trains to be distributed to different destinations. This is exactly what happens with the ICE 10 line Hamm. Part of the train continues to follow Dusseldorf or. Cologne / Bonn Airport, the other part after Cologne or. Koblenz. The destination mentioned as the second is only approached every two hours, the first every hour. Here are the stations:
- (hourly) Berlin (Ostbahnhof) - Berlin main station) - Berlin (Spandau) - (individual trains) Stendal (two hours) - Wolfsburg (hourly) -
Hanover Central Station - Bielefeld - Hamm (Train separation)
- Dortmund - Bochum - Duisburg - eat - Dusseldorf airport) - Düsseldorf (Central Station)
- (individual trains) Cologne Fair / Deutz - Cologne / Bonn Airport.
- (Sundays, individual trains) Cologne Central Station) - Düren - Aachen
- Hagen - Wuppertal - Cologne - (individual trains) Bonn - And afterwards - Koblenz
- Dortmund - Bochum - Duisburg - eat - Dusseldorf airport) - Düsseldorf (Central Station)
The ICE 20 line
Night trains and motorail trains
Hanover is served by the night train lines NJ 40491 (Hamburg - Hanover - Fulda - Munich - Innsbruck) and NJ 491 (Hamburg - Hanover - Nuremberg - Passau - Linz - Vienna) once a day in both directions. The journeys are made by the ÖBB Nightjet carried out and have a Car and motorcycle transport vehicles.
Regional train in Hanover
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Hauptbahnhof_Hannover_524-fdh.jpg/300px-Hauptbahnhof_Hannover_524-fdh.jpg)
The DB-AG differentiates RegionalBahn (RB) and Regional Express (RE) Trains, although some of them use the same route with the same stopping points.
The regional railways in Hanover have only two operators that DB region and the metronome. That makes the matter very clear. You drive in the transport association. Unfortunately, with far too many exceptions, tickets are valid on both trains. It is important to find out beforehand which ticket is valid for which trains.
Regional trains in Hanover
The DB Regio uses a wide variety of trains on the routes to and through Hanover. Often there are railcars that have an electric or diesel drive, depending on the route. Trains with locomotives and double-decker cars are used on more frequented routes. There are also trains with single-deck coaches, but almost all of them have been modernized today. The choice of trains is definitely very diverse.
The DB-Regio only operates trains in the Hanover area under the names RegionalBahn and Regional-Express. The Interregio-Express (IRISHMAN) does not exist in Hanover. The RegionalBahn is the slower variant that stops at every stop, unless it runs parallel to the S-Bahn. The regional express skips small stops and also has a higher speed. As already said, the transitions from one train to the other are not precisely defined and they continue to blur.

If you go with the metronome, you always have to deal with trains with double-decker coaches. They usually have 6 wagons. Since the cars are all new, they are also equipped with modern equipment. There are always several train attendants on board and smoking and alcohol consumption are prohibited. They usually have a vending machine with drinks. Bicycles can almost always be taken on the trains of the metronome.
Since the end of 2014, all regional trains in Lower Saxony have been numbered uniformly, and the line numbers given here can also be found on the trains and timetables.

S-Bahn Hanover
Since the EXPO in 2000, local transport in Hanover has been supplemented by the S-Bahn. Trains that are integrated into local transport run on the tracks of Deutsche Bahn. With the tickets for these trains you can also use other public transport in Hanover. But beware. The S-Bahn goes beyond the borders of regional traffic (and partly also beyond the borders of Lower Saxony); other tariffs apply there, and a valid ticket must have been purchased accordingly.
history
Even before EXPO 2000 there were plans to set up an S-Bahn system in Hanover. The project failed again and again due to the enormous costs of expanding the railway lines. With EXPO 2000, the funds were available and a rail network was built with which Hanover Central Station, the airport and the exhibition / EXPO site could be easily reached. In the course of this development, a number of new stations and stops were created, and many other stations were converted and modernized for S-Bahn operations. New vehicles were specially designed for this project. The class 424 multiple units are only in use in Hanover.

The Hanover light rail
The Hannover Stadtbahn has its origins in the tram that used to run the routes. In the city center, tunnels were gradually created in which the light rail travels, meanwhile there is only one line that runs above ground in the city center. Furthermore, the tram now runs as far as possible on its own track bed, i.e. no longer on the street. At the EXPO 2000, the Hanover tram received another upgrade, but efforts are still being made to expand the route network. Unfortunately, this is not that easy, because the costs of upgrading the line are exploding, causing some concern and on the other hand there is resistance from the population who do not want to accept the noise that the railways cause. Furthermore, great efforts are being made to make all stations of the tram accessible for the disabled. This is of course not structurally possible at all stations, but more and more stations can also be used by disabled people without assistance.
At many stations, especially at the terminus, parking spaces have been created that allow "Park ande Ride". The light rail system is interlinked with the other local transport systems, in particular with the bus system.
The light rail network in Hanover is structured according to the tunnel system in the city center. They are arranged in alphabetical order. The lines themselves have one to two-digit numbers that have changed over the course of time.
Route A
The tunnel is the first to be built in Hanover. It runs from the Cunning in the north under the Hanover Central Station through to the main station Kröpke where almost all trams meet further south towards Linden.
Route B
The second route B, which was put into operation, uses part of the tunnel on route A. It also comes from the north of Vahrenwald, also passes under the train station and then bends over the Kröpke to the east to Aegidientorplatz to continue south towards Hildesheimer Straße .
Line C
The newest route is route C, which runs from west to east. The path leads into the tunnel on Vahrenwalder Straße or shortly before Königsworther Platz. Via the Steintor station, the route leads to the main Kröpke station on to Aegidientorplatz and then continues in the direction of Marienstraße.
Route D
Route D does not go through a tunnel. It is also not a closed route. This stretch is currently under discussion. It should also run through a tunnel. But that has huge costs as a result, so one is undecided at the moment. The route leads from the west via the Steintor station into the city center, passes the train station above ground and ends at Aegidientorplatz. In the east, the route begins on route C at the Freundallee station and then heads south to the exhibition center.
Trains
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Silberpfeil_(01).jpg/300px-Silberpfeil_(01).jpg)
The Hannover Stadtbahn currently uses two different trains. The old model (TW 6000), the green trains, dates from the 1970s, when the rebuilding of the light rail system began. However, the trains are to be replaced in the next few years. The new train (TW 2000 / TW2500), the so-called Silver Arrow, has taken over and is now well received after initial difficulties. Modern trains (TW 3000) are to be purchased in the future. The lowerable steps will then be a thing of the past, as the new trains will only be used on routes on which all stations have been upgraded to be handicapped accessible.

Scheduled bus services in Hanover
The buses in Hanover are divided into two areas. The lines with the numbers from 100 to 299 connect the light rail lines with the areas that cannot be reached by light rail. The network is very tight, you can also take the buses to very remote areas.
in the Surroundings of Hanover drives the regional bus. They are numbered from 300 to 999. The colors of the buses differ from those in the city center. The Regio-Bus is also linked to the other options of public transport in Hanover and its times are also linked to the other travel times.
