DUTCH national rail company NS has sold 32 of its stored Class DM90 DMU fleet to Polish private operator Stowarzyszenie Kolejowych Przewozów Lokalnych(Association of local railway companies). SKPL operates some seasonal services on otherwise closed lines,and since March 2018has run services as asub-contractor to Polish long-distance operator PKP Intercity. SKPL also leases rolling stock to Polish regional operators.The 53 DM90 two-car DMUs were built byTalbot in Aachen between 1996 and 1998. Withdrawn by 2017 the 48 serviceable trains were sold to Romanian company Ferotrans-TFI, which later discovered they could not move them to Romania by rail,as they are unusually wide at 3.2 metres.
After having to store them NS offered them for sale again, with SKPL buying most of them. NS and Ferotrans-TFI remain in dispute about the deal,which is now in the hands of the courts.
