on 27 may 1979, the first express train was introduced on the munich–memmingen–lindau route. a pair of trains (numbered 366/367) ran from munich via lindau and zürich airport to milan, stopping in wangen and leutkirch. the express train was formed of a class 218 locomotive hauling modern carriages, but it was withdrawn in may 1982. since the mid-1980s, a eurocity service has operated on line 88 on the munich–zürich route through the station without stopping; they only stop between buchloe and lindau in memmingen.
