Effective January 2010, DB Schenker Rail Polska will offer rail freight customers a new through train - the Silesia Line - which will run twice a week between the city of Seddin in Brandenburg and central business locations in the south of Poland (Silesia).
The new train will bundle previous products and reduce transport times in Poland roughly by half.
Instead of the previous two weeks, the trains will now run on the basis of fixed timetables and will spend only seven days in Poland, where they will call at Wroclaw Gadów, Kedzierzyn Kozle, Gliwice and Jaworzno-Szczakowa, among others.
Taking stock of the integration process since the acquisition of DB Schenker Rail Polska in July, Dr. Alexander Hedderich, chairman of DB Schenker Rail, said that he was pleased with the progress made to date:
"The basis for the successful restructuring of the former PCC Logistics Group and PTK Holding is the recent appointment of the new management, headed by Mieczyslaw Olender, an experienced manager, and the jointly planned management structure. DB Schenker Rail Polska has coped well in this difficult business year."
