First, it should be: "nach Bonn Hauptbahnhof", not "zum".
"Hau" sounds like "how". "Bahn" needs a long "ah", no short "o". (Sorry, I'm not good at inventing English phonetical spelling.)
Nach is a very confusing word for me as an American who taught himself (some) German, as it seems to mean quite a few things...
Is 'Zum Bonn Hbf' grammatically incorrect, as it seems to mean to me: to the Bonn main train station? I understand that nach might be a better word to use here.
I've just seen nach used in so many different ways that it is difficult at times to discern what it actually means.
