Metrans increases frequency of trains between the Port of Hamburg and Bavaria

In June, the HHLA subsidiary Metrans increased the frequency of its rail connections to and from Bavaria. The shuttle trains will now travel between the Port of Hamburg and Bavaria eleven times a week, instead of the previous nine. In Bavaria, Metrans regularly serves the metropolitan regions of Nuremberg and Munich. In addition to these intermodal services, the rail operator will include new transport connections from Bremerhaven as of 1 July 2014. It is initially planned that three trains per week will travel both to Nuremberg and to Munich.
HHLA’s Metrans subsidiary provides highly frequent rail connections with the ports in Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Rotterdam, in order to serve the export-oriented economies of Central Europe. With inland terminals, its own locomotives and special container-carriages, the company operates high-performance hub-and-shuttle systems.
