[citation needed] Due to the fact that all four railway lines are single-track and non-electrified, Bayreuth is currently only served by regional rail services.

[5] Regional routes serving Bayreuth are operated by DB Regio and the private company agilis.

Since 2014, regional rail services in Bayreuth have belonged to the Integrated Transport Association of Greater Nuremberg (VGN, for Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg).

[citation needed] Beginning on 23 May 1992, tilting diesel multiple units of Class 610 have worked the railway through the Pegnitz valley from Nuremberg to Bayreuth.

[6] Today, DB Regio uses the Class 612 DMUs exclusively, and agilis operates the Stadler Regio-Shuttle RS1.
