The season opener of the Darmstadt steam tram “Feuriger Elias” on 19 May 2024 was a complete success despite some bad weather: many passengers used the first trip from the Frankenstein depot in Eberstadt to travel to Alsbach. The spring timetable provides for three train pairs per day to the Bergstraße. Further operating days are 30 May and 2 June. And finally, the summer timetable from 08.09.24 will see five service days from Darmstadt city centre to Griesheim. The journey time is just 25 minutes each way.
