Seehas is a regional rail service that operates between Engen and Konstanz in the district of Konstanz, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is managed and operated by SBB GmbH, the German subsidiary of Swiss Federal Railways. It began operation in 1994.

History

Service began on 23 May 1994, with the extension of existing services from Kreuzlingen (in Switzerland) to Engen. These were operated by Mittelthurgaubahn, a Swiss company.^[1] On Mittelthurgaubahn's bankruptcy in 2003-2004, operation passed to EuroTHURBO [de], the German subsidiary of THURBO. EuroTHURBO itself merged into SBB GmbH in 2005. In 2006, SBB introduced Stadler FLIRT trains on the route and increased the service frequency to every 30 minutes.^[2]

Operation

The service uses the Black Forest Railway from Engen to Singen (Hohentwiel), and then the High Rhine Railway to Konstanz. The length of the route is 44 kilometres (27 mi), and an average journey requires 50 minutes.^[3][4] The service is summarized as follows:

• S6: Engen – Mühlhausen (bei Engen) – Singen (Hohentwiel) – Radolfzell – Allensbach – Konstanz
