caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Das imposante Bahnhofsgebäude von Seligenstadt (bei Würzburg), im Vordergrund die vor einigen Jahren gebaute Park&amp;Ride-Anlage. Links befindet sich die Bahnstrecke Würzburg–Bamberg (KBS 810). Der Bahnhof Seligenstadt verfügt jedoch nur über einen Bahnsteig am Gleis 1 Richtung Schweinfurt, weshalb die Züge Richtung Würzburg vor und nach dem Bahnhof das Gleis wechseln müssen. Einige hundert Meter nördlich befindet sich der Haltepunkt Seligenstadt (Mainschleifenbahn), wo sonn- und feiertags die Schienenbusse ins 10 Kilometer entfernte Volkach am Main abfahren.
context_page_description: The Bamberg–Rottendorf railway is a two-track electrified main line railway in the German state of Bavaria. It is about 100 kilometres long and was built by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as part of the Ludwig's Western Railway from Bamberg via Haßfurt and Schweinfurt to Würzburg. Between Bamberg and Schweinfurt, the line runs largely along the Main river. The line was opened in sections between 1852 and 1854 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany.
context_section_description: Since the timetable change in December 2004, Regional-Express trains have run every two hours, generally with two routes overlapping to provide hourly services on most sections. Specifically, trains run on the following lines:
  Würzburg–Schweinfurt–Bad Kissingen/Mellrichstadt–Suhl–Erfurt
  Würzburg–Schweinfurt–Haßfurt–Bamberg–Lichtenfels–Hof/Bayreuth
  Würzburg–Schweinfurt–Haßfurt–Bamberg–Forchheim–Erlangen–Fürth–Nürnberg
  Modern vehicles are exclusively used on the three lines. The first two lines because of their winding routes are operated with class 612 tilting trains, mostly in sets of three. From December 2004, services on the Schweinfurt–Nuremberg route were hauled at first by class 111 locomotives with five double-deck carriages (built in 1997), but with a top speed of 140 km / h only. However, the one-hour service required to allow regular connections to and from trains on the Erfurt–Würzburg line made trains with a stop speed of 160 km / h necessary. DB Regio therefore procured eight new five-car sets, which have been hauled since December 2005 by eight new class 146 locomotives, saving several minutes on the line. Regional-Express trains stop only at the stations of Bamberg, Haßfurt, Schweinfurt and Würzburg on the 100-kilometre route.
  Regionalbahn services also supplement the Regional Express train services. Services run hourly on the Würzburg–Schweinfurt line, continuing every two hours to Bamberg. Trains terminating in Schweinfurt in some cases continue to Schweinfurt Stadt station. On the Haßfurt–Bamberg section extra services run, increasing services to an hourly frequency. The trains are usually composed of a class 111 or class 143 locomotives and four or five Silberling carriages.
