Lineas, the largest private rail freight operator in Europe, is further expanding its Green Xpress Network with a new connection between Antwerp and the “Four-Country Region” of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland
From 15th December, three Xpress trains per week will connect Antwerp to Langweid-Foret in the Swabia region in southern Germany, and further to Wolfurt in the Austrian Vorarlberg region. A stop in Recklinghausen will further allow a direct rail link with the Ruhr area.
In Swabia, Lineas has reached agreement to use a private intermodal terminal. For the Austrian link, agreement has been reached with Combi Cargo Terminal Wolfurt.
“There is a strong demand from our customers to extend our rail offer to Swabia in Germany and Vorarlberg in Austria,” says Olivier Deprez, Head of Network Management & Alliances. “Our unrivalled Green Xpress trains have already demonstrated their relevance in achieving modal shift.
“These open products transport all types of cargo and shipments from these regions to and from the Western Ports and the rest of the hinterland. With these two new destinations, today we have 23 different Green Xpress trains all over Europe.”
The new connection will start with three trains per week. Capacity will steadily be increased as demand is expected to grow fast, said Lineas.
