On Saturday afternoon (April 6th/3:30pm) SV Darmstadt 98 will be guests at 1. FSV Mainz 05. You can find all the important information for your visit to the Mewa Arena stadium here.
We asked the railway about the possibility of a relief train. Unfortunately the railway cannot offer this to us. However, we recommend the regular connection with increased capacity, which starts at 12.38pm from Darmstadt main station and arrives at Mainz main station at 1.11pm. For the return journey we recommend the also increased connection from Mainz main station at 6.22pm. Arrival in Darmstadt is scheduled for 6:50pm. The railway is increasing train capacity for both connections.
