[HIGHLIGHTS] Training center for up to 60,000 people annually

Training center for up to 60,000 people annually. Erfurt prevailed over 13 other applicant cities for the DB Campus.

First building expected to be completed at the end of next year, the company says the capacity will initially be up to 15,000 participants. Thuringia's Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow said Erfurt could also become an important location for the central training of traffic engineers. But there are also a number of proposals for reactivating disused regional rail lines in the Free State.
