15–18

The line 15 is an ICE line, which has sections of the character of a Sprinter line. Four pairs of trains (six train pairs on Fridays and Sundays) connect Berlin daily with Frankfurt in less than 4 hours, around 15 minutes faster than via Braunschweig. Individual trains continue from there to Stralsund or Binz. Further train pairs connect Berlin with Erfurt. Between Halle and Erfurt, the line runs on the new line Erfurt-Leipzig / Halle. Already in the annual timetable 2003/2004 there was an ICE line 15 as a successor to the Interregio line 15, but with a route over Potsdam, Dessau and Naumburg and Weimar. In the timetables 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 there were three train pairs of the ICE line 15 Frankfurt-Erfurt-Halle-Berlin together with the ICE line 51 Dortmund-Paderborn-Kassel-Erfurt-Leipzig-Dresden as a line exchanger in time with the ICE Line 50 Frankfurt-Erfurt-Leipzig-Dresden.

20–28

The primary route segments of lines 20, 22, 25 & 28 begin in Hamburg-Altona station. Select trains continue to Kiel or Lübeck.

The line 20 connects Hamburg every two hours with Zurich, Chur or Basel. Between Hamburg and Frankfurt, it overlaps with line 22 to an hourly rate. Some trains already start in Kiel, then drive via Neumünster and Hamburg Dammtor to Hamburg central station. This line passes through some stations like Hamburg-Harburg, Lüneburg, Uelzen, Fulda or Hanau without stopping. A single train from Hamburg-Altona leaves in Frankfurt (Main) Hbf the main line and goes through the airport and Mainz Hbf to Wiesbaden Hbf. This then serves the usually traversed hold, but not Hamburg-Harburg.

Line 22 connects Hamburg with Stuttgart every two hours. Between Hamburg and Frankfurt (Main) it condenses with line 20 to an hourly clock. Some trains, which already start in Kiel, do not serve Hamburg-Altona. Besides Hamburg-Harburg, the stops Fulda and Hanau are not served by this line. A train pair runs from Frankfurt (Main) to Oldenburg.
