DB Schenker Rail to launch „Bosporus Shuttle“ this September

Up to five weekly pairs of trains linking Germany and Turkey with DB Schenker Rail
 
Starting in September 2013, DB Schenker Rail will be operating three pairs of trains between Germany and Turkey each week. The frequency of the new service named "Bosporus Shuttle" shall be increased to five pairs of trains later. The new service will strengthen the existing offer between Western Europe and destinations in Turkey.
 
DB Schenker Rail Bulgaria will transfer the trains to the Turkish State Railways TCDD at the Bulgarian-Turkish border. The trains take five days to cover the over 2,000-kilometer route which passes through Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. The final destination is Halkali (Istanbul). Both containers and conventional carloads are accepted for transport in the train system.
 
"We can guarantee a high reliability of transport, because we have control over production quality in the region with our companies, and we are able to offer end-to-end corridor management," said Dr. Alexander Hedderich, CEO of DB Schenker Rail, on the occasion of the "transport logistic" trade fair in Munich in the middle of this week. DB Schenker Rail has companies, affiliated companies and partnerships in 15 European countries.
