223.070 accelerated away from Sulzbach-Rosenberg with ALX354, the 13:07 Praha - Nürnberg, on 4 May. Direct services from Praha to Nürnberg will cease at the December 2012 timetable change, leaving the Nürnberg - Schwandorf line with no loco hauled passenger trains. One of the main reasons for the service ending is the poaching of potential passengers by competing bus services operated by DB.
