HLB managing director Veit Salzmann said: “We have been using Coradia Lint vehicles successfully in our networks for many years.

“We appreciate the continuity in the cooperation with Alstom and would like to emphasise that we have been supplied punctually and completely in all projects so far. We are convinced that Alstom will succeed in doing the same in the Wetterau region.”

The new Coradia Lint 41 trains to be supplied to HLB will be disabled passenger-friendly and feature 120 seats. Each of these vehicles will be equipped with two multi-purpose areas to store wheelchairs, prams and bicycles, as well as barrier-free universal toilets.

The trains will also have Wi-Fi, power outlets near the seats and a passenger information system providing real-time details.
