Frankfurt to Koblenz by train

When taking the train from Frankfurt (Main) to Koblenz there is a choice of services:
(1) The express trains are inevitably faster and if you can book ahead online, they can be cheaper too.
(2) Though if you want to take a spontaneous day trip by train and book walk-up tickets at the station, you'll save money by taking one of the more frequent Regio trains.
Though the Regio trains take two routes, the faster journey along the west bank of the River Rhine through Bingen (which they share with the express trains), and a slower journey along the east bank through Weisbaden.
So if you will making a day trip to Koblenz in fine weather, the trip will even be even more delightful if you travel one way and then return by the other.
