Deutsche Bahn web site issue

Posted by on

Bahn.com has been my go-to site for European train schedules in general. But, it seems this forum would be the most likely to ask about an issue I've been experiencing within the last (?) month. That is - on making an entry in the "from" or "to" input areas I don't get a complete display of possibilities. For example - looking for trains from Frankfurt airport I enter "Fra" and only get Frankfurt (Main); Frankfurt (Main) Hbf; and Franfurt (Oder) - no Flughafen, no regiobahnhof or any of the other possibilities. Typing out frankfurt doesn't help, in fact that returns nothing.

Same thing when I've tried other locations - very limited responses. Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried 3 different browsers and cleared cache. I can use other search engines such as trainline but I really like the presentation and detail in bahn.com.

Yeah, but I get it if I type one more letter, the "n". Then among the suggestions, Frankfurt(M)Flughafen, Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Fernbf, Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Regionalbf.

"Fra" is too general to get all the options as the list would be very long, so it gives a couple of possibilities. "Fran" is close enough to start adding more possibities. I think the site works very well. The very best European railway website by a long shot.

I just typed out "Frankfurt" and got 12 pull-down options.

Greg, someone else in my office reported a similar difficulty, but I haven't seen it myself. My results are like Russ's. My web browser is Microsoft Edge. There may be a few-seconds lag time to populate all the options.
