E (Train No. E) is a express train operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) on the Germany national rail network. As a express train, it is a scheduled express service running on a fixed timetable across multiple states or regions.
E runs on Sat, with the timetable above showing the scheduled departure time at each intermediate stop.
E typically offers multiple travel classes ranging from economy through to premium options including air-conditioned coaches and where applicable sleeper berths for overnight travel. Current class availability and published fares are best confirmed through the official Deutsche Bahn (DB) booking platform on the day of booking.
Tickets for E are sold by Deutsche Bahn (DB) through the official booking portal at bahn.de. Online booking typically opens between 30 and 180 days before departure depending on the operator and service type. Booking early gives access to the cheapest advance discount fares which can be 30–80% cheaper than walk-up tickets at the station. Tickets are also available at station booking offices and from authorised travel agents and ticket resellers. Most operators accept payment by credit card, debit card, and digital wallet.
On the day of travel, arrive at the originating station at least 30–45 minutes before the scheduled departure time. This gives time to locate the correct platform (platform number is announced on station information displays 20–60 minutes before departure), find your reserved coach (coach numbers are marked along the platform edge at major stations), and board with your luggage. Always cross-check the platform number against your e-ticket or seat reservation before boarding — multiple trains can depart within a short window from adjacent platforms during peak periods.
