The LocalFlixtrain to dramatically grow German fleet and expand connections
Germany's budget railway operator, known for its limegreen trains, has announced plans to buy 65 new trains in the coming years and expand its coverage in the country and beyond.
The company Flixtrain plans to use its new trains from 2028.
Flixtrain wants to expand its range of long-distance services massively: from 2028 on, around 65 new trains are to be phased into operation. The company already doubles the seating capacity and plans a two-hour cycle on important routes.
The competition of Deutsche Bahn is expanding: Flixtrain wants to bring dozens of modern trains onto the rail. The company is also targeting new routes. Customers could be faced with price increases.
For the first time, rail competitor Flixtrain orders brand new long-distance trains for 2.4 billion euros. CEO André Schwämmlein reveals when the new trains should roll.
