context_page_description: The Mittelhessen-Express is a train service operated by DB Regio AG in the German state of Hesse on the Main-Weser Railway and the Dill Railway, which was put into operation at the commencement of the 2007 timetable on 10 December 2006.
  After a re-tender of operations for twelve years, operations of the services from 11 December 2011 were taken over by the DB Regio Hessen GmbH, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of DB Regio. The operation of Bombardier Talent 2 electric multiple units were intended to be used from the beginning of the contract, but were delayed by problems in obtaining certification for their operation from the Federal Railway Authority as on other routes.
context_section_description: The two sections of the Mittelhessen-Express consist of class 425 electric multiple units. During peak hour two (three between Giessen and Frankfurt) units are coupled together. Some trains are also operated by the shorter class 426 sets either individually or together with class 425 sets.
  Some of the vehicles were previously used on the Kassel–Eichenberg–Göttingen and Bebra–Eichenberg–Göttingen lines, where the services were operated by Cantus Verkehrsgesellschaft. Other vehicles were acquired from Bavaria. They were rebranded as Mittelhessen-Express for the new service.
  Hoists are available near the cabs for the loading of passengers’ wheelchairs.
