want to go by train if I can get away with it, will be in

There doesn't seem to be any bus, so you'll have to take the
train. However, since busses normaly leave at the central train
station ("ZOB") anyway, you can first ask there for a bus and,
if there ain't one, walk a few meters to the trains.

Apart from that, taking a bus between Stuttgart and Ulm might
not be a good idea even if you want to take it slow. Stuttgart
and Ulm are located on the high-speed train connection between
Stuttgart and Munich, and the least expensive train ticket is
just 13,50€ (in a slow regional train "RE" with nine stops).
A bus won't have many guests then, and if there is a bus,
it'll take hours because it stops at every second cow.

Ask http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en for train
connections. RE trains are nice, too, not much faster than a
bus on the Autobahn.

Thanks for your help,the reason I wanted to take the bus
was so I could see a little more of Germany.

Thanks again

There is no high speed. Geislinger Steige has low speeds about 60 km/h.

Take such a RE, alight at intermediate station if you want and continue
with the next train. Your ticket will be valid one day (I guess it's
under 100 km).

Ok, my fault, replace "high-speed" with "main". But just because they have to
climb up a hill somewhere doesn't mean that they drive 60 km/h all the way from
Stuttgart to Munich.

In any case, I was rather referring to the importance, usage and type of trains
used on that track. It's not a Feld-, Wald- und Wiesenbahn.

Anyway trains are traveling at rather low speed over Stuttgart-Ulm and that
part of the line may be considered as scenic. It's always a nice break to
the otherwise dull Stuttgart-Mannheim or Ulm-Munich and I think OP should
consider rail.

It's my understanding that Germany has no long distance bus
network, don't know if this is actually true, but I've never seen
a bus on a long run (except to CZ).

Busses are the only way down part of the Romantischestrasse, and the best
way between some destinations in BAvaria.

That said, I think they are also listed on the Deutsche Bahn web site.

Sorry, this was not meant to answer the original poster, just to note that
there are at least some long distance b usses in Germany.

If you want to go slow, you might change to a 'Regionalbahn' in
Geislingen. Several stops along the way, potential side trips by bus.
The section from Stuttgart to Geislingen offers an occasional view but
traverses mostly built-up and partly industrial areas. The stretch
between Geislingen and Ulm is rural and more scenic.

Have a nice trip!

If you go to Ulm, do not miss Blaubeuren and the source of the Blau.

If you want a somehow scenic train ride, you should take the
Donautalbanh (Danube valley railway), i.e. Ulm - Tuttlingen. You should
be able to come back to Stuttgart via main line from Tuttlingen.

My favorite part of Blaubeuren was the castle ruin overlooking it.
OK, I hunt castles 8-)
