TTR11  Cabride+ Koblenz to Frankfurt. Ticket to Ride cab rides are a little different! In addition to the view from the driving seat we tell the story of the route - from a technical point of view and from a visitor to the area. Sometimes we take a break from the journey to watch the trains go by. But don't worry, we pick up the cab ride where we left off! At least four trains an hour in each direction ply this major international route, InterCity, EuroCity and ICTs. Add in local traffic and freight and it's a busy trip! We travel south from Koblenz in the driving trailer of IC 725 that started its run at Dortmund and will conclude in Nuremberg. Tail end power is a EuroSprinter derived Class 120. Down the most picturesque section of the river: Boppard, St Goar, Oberwesel before calling at Mainz, where we see work in progress on the NBS linking Mainz with Cologne. Across the Rhine past the General Motors works at R?sselsheim and then onto the first section of the Cologne - Frankfurt Neubaustrecke to be completed. A pause at the striking new airport station before entering the Frankfurt urban area, across the Main and into the Hauptbahnhof. During the journey we have external shots from the lineside, the river and even a quick look at Cologne from the air!  Narrated . RT 84 mins
