Due to this understaffing of the dispatchers at DB InfraGo, we are often unable to run between Frankfurt Höchst and Frankfurt Hbf, even at short notice. The safety, efficiency and coordination provided by the dispatcher are essential for the operation of trains. For this reason, we do not receive a driver’s license when shifts are not occupied. Passengers are asked to check the connection information in the RMVgo app or on rmv.de before setting off.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
