Why is the major timetable change being made in December?
When the railway and other public transport systems were introduced, it was decided that the major timetable change would always take place in December. Why December?

Hello everyone. We had a discussion yesterday about whether or not there are actually border controls on trains from Italy (e.g., Milan or Rome) to Germany? Someone also claimed that all passports/ID cards are collected by the conductor before boarding. Someone else said there are no controls at all. Yet another said there are ALWAYS…
Hello, I'm 16 and I'm traveling alone at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow by S-Bahn to Nuremberg and from there by ICE. I'm most afraid of the S-Bahn and the train station. Is that justified? I have to wait on the platform for almost an hour. Does anyone have any tips?
With the €9-a-month ticket, which will be available this summer, can I only travel within my own area? In theory, I can also travel from Hamburg to Munich, assuming I use regional trains, of course. But is this ticket valid for the entire route within Germany? Who knows for sure?
Hey, I wanted to get the Baden-Württemberg Ticket for the summer holidays, I graduated this year and got a school certificate, but it is valid until July 31st. Does that still count or can I not get the ticket after all?
Hi everyone, I want to travel from Dortmund to Cologne tomorrow and have a ticket 1000 for Dortmund. If I travel to Cologne now, do I only need to buy the EW ticket for €6.60, or do I also need to buy the VRR additional ticket for €3.50?
Den Fahrplanwechsel im Dezember gibt es erst seit 2001, vorher gab es bei der Deutschen Bahn einen Fahrplanwechsel Ende Mai (Sommerfahrplan) und einen Ende September (Winterfahrplan). Dabei begann der Jahresfahrplan jeweils mit dem Beginn des Sommerfahrplans Ende Mai, zum Winterfahrplan gab es eher kleinere Anpassungen und saisonabhängige Änderungen.
Das galt – soweit ich mich erinnere – auch schon vorher bei der Deutschen Bundesbahn und der Deutschen Reichsbahn, von anderen europäischen Bahnen weiß ich es nicht.
Grund für die Verschiebung auf den Termin im Dezember war eine EU-Richtlinie.
Bei mir in der Schweiz war es damals genau gleich. Wir haben damals am Schalter unzählige Kursbücher und regionale Fahrpläne verkauft und das zweimal jährlich.
Warum wird der große Fahrplanwechsel im Dezember gemacht ?
Weil es so lange dauert, bis der Fahrplan fertig ist.
Weil da dann kurz vor Ende des Kalenderjahres ist und gleichzeitig der Winterbeginn
…und die Konditionen für die stromlieferungen fürs kommende Jahr abgeschlossen sind
