Britain’s biggest train operator entered public ownership

The agreement starts on 12 December 2027 and runs for nine years.

State-owned Vy will take over services on the Sørlandsbanen and Jærbanen after the government decided to transfer the contract directly to the national operator.

Less than a week after celebrating the launch of its Talgo S6 trainsets on routes to Bratislava and Prešov, Leo Express has been forced to scale back operations due to technical failures and a shortage of available units.
