Planned tram to Hubland

planned "Hubland line"
Legend Main route from the main train station Barbarossaplatz Main route to Juliuspromenade Mainfrankentheater / residence Ottostrasse Südbahnhof Railway line and city ​​ring south ( B19 ) Frauenlandplatz Wittelsbacherplatz Holzbühlweg Hubland South Campus Hubland North Campus Hubland Eschenallee Branching of the turning loop Washington Street

A line to the University on Hubland, which could cover the upstream Frauenland , the newly emerging district at the former Leighton Barracks, and possibly Gerbrunn, is currently being planned. The connection to the Hubland is inevitable due to the increasing number of students, especially since the expansion of the University of Applied Sciences on Sanderheinrichsleitenweg will provide additional passengers. The previous connection by bus has long since reached its capacity limit, which is why the university lines 114 and 214, which run during the semester, had to be launched in addition to lines 10, 14 and 34.

The route that is to open up the Mainfrankentheater , the Residenz , the Südbahnhof , the university buildings on Wittelsbacherplatz and Hubland as well as the university expansion and the site of the State Horticultural Show 2018 on the Leigthon site was already found by the Würzburg city council in June 2009. In July 2012, the planning approval for the expansion was initiated by the government of Lower Franconia and the planned route was specified in detail. Completion is targeted for 2018.

The WVV has published information and a route network plan with all the line extensions planned by 2018: Contrary to the often used designation Line 6 for the new line, this is to be integrated into the existing twin line concept after completion and from lines 2 and 3, which previously ended at the main station to be served. The following route is planned:

• Line 2: Zellerau - Juliuspromenade - Hauptbahnhof - Frauenland - Hubland
• Line 3: Heuchelhof - Heidingsfeld - Sanderring - Stadtmitte - Juliuspromenade - Frauenland - Hubland

Line 2 will provide access to the main station in both directions with a short spur journey, while line 3 will turn directly onto the new line behind the Juliuspromenade. The routes of the other tram lines will not change. A journey time of 17 minutes is planned between Juliuspromenade and the Wendeschleife on Hubland.
