The plans for the new ICE route between Augsburg and Ulm are becoming more and more specific.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) has now narrowed down the possible route even further.
Deutsche Bahn intends to present the result in Günzburg today.
Günzburg - A year ago, the DB named four different route variants.
Initially, these routes had a range of 500 meters each.
These routes have now been restricted to 20 meter wide routes.
By the end of next year, the planning should be so advanced that an official regional planning procedure can then take place.
