GERMANY: Local freight railway Bentheimer Eisenbahn has taken delivery of the first two of the five Alstom Coradia Lint 41 diesel multiple-units which it has ordered to enable the reintroduction of passenger services on the 30 km Bad Bentheim – Nordhorn – Neuenhaus route.
Passenger services had been replaced by railway-operated buses in 1974, but in 2015 the Land of Niedersachsen and the Bentheim, Nordhorn and Neuenhaus local authorities agreed to fund a €17m project to upgrade the infrastructure to permit passenger trains to be reinstated.
