Class 218s on red DB Regio stock have been difficult to find on the Allgäubahn west of Biessenhofen in recent years with the few workings generally being at inconvenient times for photography. However, 2012 saw the introduction of a 2-hourly RE service from München and Kempten with most trains loco hauled. 218.459 passed Görwangs, east of Günzach with RE57586, the 10:51 from München, on 21 June 2012.
