From now on, rail travellers will be able to journey from Nuremberg to Mannheim at 2-hour intervals – on a Setra S 431 DT double-decker coach. "We offer the return journey twelve times a day, and this saves customers a detour via Frankfurt where they previously needed to change trains," says Ernst Rupprecht. To meet the contract with Deutsche Bahn AG, the general manager of Ludwig Arzt Omnibusverkehr e. K. took delivery of five double-decker coaches from the Setra TopClass 400 at the Customer Centre in Neu-Ulm.
