Alleo
From 10 June 2007, the Frankfurt-Main-Paris route was served for the time being with one train pair per day; two more operated only between Saarbrücken and Paris. From December 2007, the operation with five train pairs daily was fully recorded throughout the route. Modified ICE-3 trains and the French TGV POS, which has been tested on German routes since November 2005, are used for international traffic. On the German side the trains stop in Mannheim, Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken. The maximum operating speeds in France are 320 km/h, between Mannheim and Saarbrücken only 160 km/h. One of the reasons is the lack of the safety system (LZB) required for faster driving in Germany on this upgraded route; In view of the ETCS system under development, the Federal Minister of Transport has banned retrofitting the route with LZB. There are also railroad crossings to be removed, especially between Neustadt an der Weinstraße and Kaiserslautern. The track allows in places only a maximum speed of 80 km/h because of the many curves. At the same time, traffic on the Stuttgart - Paris route was recorded with four daily pairs of trains. From December 2007, a train pair was tied to Munich. Only the TGV POS was used there.
