Rail transport in northern and western Saxony is being restructured: From December 2026, the rail transport company Die Länderbahn GmbH will take over routes in this area and invest millions in the expansion. "Travelers from the southwest Saxony region in particular will benefit from this. The rail connection to Leipzig and Halle will be much more comfortable," said Eugen Rubinstein, one of the managing directors, at a presentation in Neumark (Vogtlandkreis).
DB Regio Südost currently operates the routes. From 2026, the private railroad company Länderbahn, which belongs to the Netinera Group, has won the contract for the section for 12 years by lottery.
