In order to save the ailing railway operator Abellio Rail Baden-Württemberg GmbH, the state of Baden-Württemberg wants to step in for two years. The state-owned Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-AG (SWEG) had submitted an offer to buy including a workshop, Transport Minister Winfried Hermann (Greens) announced on Tuesday in Stuttgart. "That gives the employees good prospects and the passengers can then count on stable operation of the trains."
Stuttgart - It is planned that SWEG will become a partner in Abellio.
For this purpose, the company is to receive a new transport contract for two years as part of an emergency measure under European procurement law.
In return, this should guarantee full cost coverage for operations in the south-west.
Hermann said: "Within the next two years we want to award the transport services again via a tender in a competition, in which the SWEG can also participate." The plan also provides that Abellio Rail Baden-Württemberg GmbH after this process has been completed then resold to the winner of the new tender.
