Go-Ahead starts Bavarian Service UK based The Go-Ahead Group has launched its first services in Bavaria, Germany on the route from Munich to Lindau. The service is provided by a new fleet of 22 Stadler electric trains taking advantage of the route being recently electrified. The timetable has been revamped with the introduction of a new express service between Memmingen and Munich, enabling the 70-mile route to be covered in little more than an hour.
More Bio-Coal Trials THE Bure Valley Railway has held a further set of trials to test bio-coal after initial tests in June 2021. The objective of the second set of trials was to test the fuel under more arduous working conditions and to try it on a second engine, extending the knowledge base of how the fuel performs on other locomotives.
