Baden-Württemberg's transport minister, Winfried Hermann, believes that the ailing railway operator Abellio Rail Baden-Württemberg GmbH is conceivable.
"In principle it would be possible that the company will be dismantled and sold dismantled," said the Green politician on Tuesday in Stuttgart.
The country is urging that staff, trains and workshops remain in one hand.
Stuttgart - It is unclear whether that will happen. The primary goal of the state government is that the traffic on the routes served by Abellio in Stuttgart and in the Neckar valley continue to function stably. The solution must be stable and permanent. But Hermann admitted: "It has not yet been found."
By the end of the year, Abellio and the country shared the deficit.
It is quite possible that a transition period will be needed in the new year for a new tender.
During this time, the country might be ready to continue its share of the deficit.
"It is potentially also possible that we will extend the transition period that we now have," said the minister.
The location of Abellio shows that the railway operator has made quite a miscalculation.
With the new invitation to tender, it is clear that “good returns” cannot be achieved.
