What's happening at Leipzig-Halle?
About a year ago there were plans by DHL to run an air-rail cargo service into Leipzig-Halle airport.
The trains would serve 6 DHL destinations in Germany (Hamburg, Kassel, Frankfurt and so on): they would use the high-speed passenger network to shuttle between these cities and the airport in less than 3 hours. This would avoid road and air congestion in Germany.
Converted high speed passenger rolling stock was to be used so that passenger train speeds could be attained.
A line was created into the airport from the railway to the south of the airport - the Schkeuditz line. It is being used to bring fuel into the airport: the new tank farm is just beyond DHL's terminal.
A trial of DHL's cargo service was to be started last October - but I don't know what has happened since!
Do any of my readers know, please?
