REGULAR DEPARTURES AT ONE-HOUR INTERVALS FOR GERMAN FIRST AND SECOND CLASS TRAINS. A PROPOSAL MADE BY A DB CUSTOMER

DEUTSCHLAND IM EINSTUNDER -- TAKT MIT 1. UND 2. WAGENKLASSE. VORSCHLAG EINES KUNDEN DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

The author briefly describes the development of the DB's long-distance train timings to the present day and the fast train services offered by other Railways. He then explains the need for an intercity network with regular hourly train services and supports his arguments with suggested timetables, giving examples to show that such a system would allow for better connections with secondary lines than at present.
