Hanau-Gelnhausen high-speed railway

The Hanau-Gelnhausen high-speed railway is a planned railway connecting Hanau and Gelnhausen in Germany.[1] It would start from local tracks in Hanau and connect with the Hanover–Würzburg high-speed railway at Gelnhausen.[2] The railway would improve journey times for trains travelling from Frankfurt-am-Main to both Berlin and Munich. Trains travelling to Berlin would be able to reach the Hanover–Würzburg high-speed railway quickly and trains travelling to Munich would, if the connection includes a triangular junction, allow high-speed trains to bypass Aschaffenburg (where high-speed trains stop on the way to Munich) and reach Würzburg quicker.
