From the December 2007 timetable change ALEX became Arriva-Länderbahn-Express and expanded its sphere of operations to the Immenstadt - Lindau and München - Hof routes. A new batch of Siemens ER-20 diesels, carrying a smart blue, white and yellow livery, took over from the earlier locos and top'n'tail workings to Oberstdorf ceased.
The first of the new locos, 223.061, rolled down Illertal towards Altstädten with ALX39951, the 18:16 from Oberstdorf to München on 24 April 2009.
