The Easter holidays officially start on Thursday, April 6th, 2023 and end on Friday, April 14th, 2023. During this period, the buses and individual trains of the Tauberbahn run according to the holiday timetable.

On Wednesday, April 5th, 2023, all schools in the district of Schwäbisch Hall have a flexible holiday and the buses in the district of Schwäbisch Hall will be driving according to the holiday timetable on this day.

Individual schools, especially in the Schwäbisch Hall area and in the Bühlertal, start the Easter holidays on Monday, April 3rd, 2023. This results in different regulations for the buses on April 3rd/4th, 2023:

• With the SHA city bus (lines 1 to 10) in the Schwäbisch Hall area, the electric cars are no longer used in school transport. Otherwise, driving is the same as on school days.

• The Müller company generally drives according to the school timetable, also in the Ostalb district.
  There are no trips in the Schwäbisch Hall, Bühlertal, Mainhardt and Wolpertshausen areas where there is no school requirement: Line 17A is completely eliminated, and there are individual restrictions on lines 12, 12A, 16, 18, 20 and 23N (see below).
• The buses of the NVH Künzelsau (lines 25, 26 and 28) run according to the holiday timetable because there are no lessons in the Hohenlohe district from April 3rd.
• The Röhler buses (lines 29-32, 55-56, 64-66A, 71-104 and S10) all run according to the school timetable. Extra-buses and booster buses in the Schwäbisch Hall area are no longer necessary.
• The StadtBus Crailsheim (lines 52, 53 and 54) goes to school.
• The trains, regional buses and on-call buses run without restrictions.

From Thursday, April 6th, 2023 up to and including Friday, April 14th, 2023, due to the Easter holidays, all buses in the district of Schwäbisch Hall will run uniformly according to the holiday timetable. In terms of train traffic, there are only slight deviations from train traffic on school days for individual trains on the Tauberbahn.

Buses without traffic restrictions run regularly, trips with the traffic restriction "only on school days = S" are omitted, trips "only on holiday days = F" are added. There are no holiday-related changes in RufBus traffic.

On Good Friday, April 7th, 2023, and Easter Monday, April 10th, 2023, all buses, trains and call buses will run according to the timetable for Sundays and public holidays. On Good Friday, due to the public holiday, the RufBus late connections will not be offered. The registration times for the RufBus (telephone/app) are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day without restrictions.

Restrictions on lines 12, 12A, 16, 17A, 18, 20, 23N and 49 operated by Müller on April 3rd and 4th:

Due to construction work to expand fiber optics, there will be various road closures in Obersontheim-Engelhofen from Wendsday, March 22nd, 2023 until Saturday, March 25th, 2023.

On March 22nd and 23rd, 2023, the buses in Engelhofen can still go to the regular bus stop.

From Thursday, March 24th, 2023 up to and including Saturday, March 25th, 2023, the number 17 and 17A buses cannot serve the "Engelhofen Ortsmitte" stop.

The buses take a detour via "Neuer Weg" and "Am Sturz". The "Ortsmitte" stop has been relocated to a movable mast on Stielbachstrasse, in the direction of the L1066. This alternative stop is served in both directions.

Passengers are asked to understand that the bus stops have been relocated.

Until probably April 21st, 2023, the K2668 Altdorfer Straße in Ilshofen-Oberaspach will be closed to traffic due to the laying of water pipes for all traffic between house no. 24 and the Krummer Weg junction.

This affects journeys on line 23A from the Müller company. The buses of line 5 of the SHA city bus via Steinbächle can run regularly. Bus line 23A will be diverted from Großaltdorf to Ilshofen via Lorenzenzimmern and Eckartshausen. In Oberaspach, the stop "Steinbächler Straße" cannot be served due to the closure. This will be moved to the "Oberaspach Kirche" stop.

Passengers are asked for their understanding of this construction-related change.

The K2667 between Cröffelbach and Unterscheffach is completely closed to traffic in two construction phases due to road surface renovation and widening measures until now end of April 2023. During this time, it is not possible to serve Unterscheffach, and in phase 2 also Hopfach, due to the lack of turning facilities for the line 23 buses (company Müller).

For individual journeys, a turning facility will be set up in the Brunnenweg crossing area in Cröffelbach for the entire duration of the construction work. The following regulations also apply to the individual construction phases.

Construction phase 1
- closed -

Construction phase 2
Until now probably March 30th, 2023 the section Cröffelbach - Hopfach will be closed. The stops "Unterscheffach" and "Reinsberg" will remain relocated to the replacement stop in Reinsberg on the "Heroltstraße storage area". Reinsberg continues to be serviced and the bus turns around there. The "Hopfach Ort" stop cannot be served either due to the lack of a turning facility and will be relocated to the "Cröffelbach Post" stop until the construction work is complete.

For schoolchildren from Unterscheffach and Hopfach, emergency transport with 9-seater cars will be set up: timetable for schoolchildren's emergency transport Unterscheffach-Hopfach (PDF, 256 KB). This emergency timetable is valid until the end of construction phase 2.

The RufBus line R23 can usually serve all stops, sometimes with dead ends. This can lead to delays in the RufBus. Passengers are asked to understand the construction-related restrictions.

In order to ensure that pupils from the Rosenberg school in Bühlertann can reach the connecting bus for route 13, the Müller company is now ordering the following capacity control measures for route 004 of route RB14 (departure on school days at 7:03 a.m. from Hessental Fassfabrik).

• In Vellberg "Abzweigung Buch" and "Kreuzäcker" all Bühlertanner students are referred to the following bus line 12.
• In Untersontheim and at the "Obersontheim Post" stop, schoolchildren may only board with an OstalbMobil ticket and destination Rosenberg or Ellwangen. All other students are asked to use the following bus line 17A.
• At the "Obersontheim Apotheke" stop, priority is also given to schoolchildren with an OstalbMobil ticket and destination Rosenberg or Ellwangen. Students from Bühlertan can only get on if there is still space. Here, too, reference is made to the following bus line 17A.

These measures have been coordinated with the schools in Bühlertann and Rosenberg.

From now until probably mid/end of 2023, the "Untermünkheim Rathaus" stop has been relocated approx. 150 meters to the west, in front of the building at Hohenloher Str. 47.

The background is the setting up of a construction crane at the location of the previous stop. Passengers are asked for their understanding.

Until probably April 30th, 2023, the B14 (Heilbronner Straße) in Mainhardt is closed to traffic on one side.

As a result, it is no longer possible to operate the "Mainhardt B14" stop in the direction of Wüstenrot. The stop is moved about 200 meters to the east and will then be at the level of the “Mainhardt Industrie” stop on the opposite side.

Buses on lines 20, 20A (VVS 380) and 21 (VVS 372) are affected by the relocation.

All journeys can serve this stop because the buses are currently driving a changed route in Mainhardt via Friedhofstraße. See the message "Mainhardt through-road will be closed until the end of 2023".

Passengers are asked for their understanding for this new relocation of stops due to construction.

Until now probably the end of 2023, as part of the renovation of the L1050 through Mainhardt, the main road will be closed to all traffic from the B14 junction to the Friedhofstraße junction. This affects all journeys on lines 20, 20A and 21 that travel from the B14 to the "Mainhardt Wendeplatte" stop.

Access to and from the "Wendeplatte" stop is via Friedhofstrasse and Hauptstrasse during the closure. The “Turmuhrenmuseum” stop can therefore not be served and will be relocated to the “Mainhardt Wendeplatte”. This regulation also applies during the winter break during the construction work on the main street!

Furthermore, the "Mainhardt Industrie" stop cannot be served with all routes of line 20. In order to continue to ensure boarding, the following courses coming from the direction of Ammertsweiler also serve the "Mainhardt Industrie" stops, due to detours in front of the "Mainhardt Wendeplatte" stop. Please note that the departure times at the "Industrie" stop are approx. 3 to 4 minutes earlier than stated in the timetable. The following courses are affected:
Mon-Fri 5320-002 S / 5320-202 F / 5320-008 / 5320-010 S / 5320-218 F / 5320-050 / 5320-054 / 5320-058 / 5320-076 / 5320-384 / 5320-392 / 5320-396 + 096
Saturdays 5320-422 / 5320-440 / 5320-446+448 / 5320-464
Sundays 5320-630 / 5320-648

In addition, in the Friedhofstraße area (behind the Aral petrol station, near the Limes-Stüble) two replacement stops are served by all journeys. This means that passengers traveling to and from Schwäbisch Hall can always board and disembark.

Passengers are asked for their understanding of the construction-related restrictions and changes. In general, delays of a few minutes can occur due to the detour.

From Friday, 31.03. (starting 6 p.m.), until Sunday, 2.04.2023, several streets are closed in Ilshofen downtown due to the Easter Market. Also there is on Saturday, 2.04.2023, in the area of the school a horse award.

The buses and call buses can serve the stops as usual.

There is only one exception on Saturday on line 66 (Röhler): The buses can not operate the stops "Ilshofen Krankenhaus" and "Ilshofen Schule". Spare stop here is the stops at "Ilshofen Steinbrunnen".

The city center of Crailsheim is completely closed to traffic on Sunday, April 2nd, 2023 due to a food truck festival.

From 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the "Rathaus", "Karlstraße" and "Wilhelmstraße" stops cannot be served by StadtBus routes 52 and 53, or by RufBus routes R55, R58, R59 and R60.

The "Klinikum" stop is also omitted on the RufBus lines R59 and R60. The StadtBus routes 52 and 53 also serve the "Klinikum" stop in both directions during the closure.

The "Crailsheim ZOB" stop is served by all bus and RufBus lines without restrictions. This serves as a replacement for the inner-city stops.

Passengers are asked to understand the event-related restrictions.

The StadtBus Crailsheim offers a free shuttle bus service from the city center to the Roßfeld business park and back. The buses run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every 1/2 hour from/to the ZOB. Departure at the ZOB is always at 00 and 30 minutes, from Roßfeld Möbel Bohn / Obi / Intersport Schoell at 15 and 45 minutes.
