 However, municipal committees and parties have demanded the electrification of the line beyond Usingen to Grävenwiesbach and Brandoberndorf, which would make its implementation uncertain.On 18 May 2015, the district council of the Hochtaunuskreis unanimously voted to commission the Hochtaunus transport association to carry out the electrification of the Taunus Railway for the conversion to electrical operations at the timetable change in December 2019.In negotiations with the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund a few points were to be ensured in relation to the operation of the Taunus Railway.
