The train calls at 18 railway stations, including the major German cities of Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Hanover and Berlin. It operates at a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). The financially self-sufficient Locomore passenger rail service was run by its crowdfunded parent company, Locomore GmbH & Co. KG, a German private railway passenger company headquartered in Berlin. In May 2017 the company filed for insolvency in district court and operations were suspended.[1] In August 2017 Czech open access train operator LEO Express acquired some Locomore assets including its leased rolling stock and the majority of the staff and relaunched the service.[1] Tickets for the new service are sold by the German long distance bus company Flixbus.[2] Locomore competes with express coach operators and the state-owned German passenger long distance train operator, Deutsche Bahn, for passengers. Locomore is considered as low-cost passenger rail service provider. It claims to always sell its tickets at less than half the price required for standard fare Deutsche Bahn tickets. Under the old management it also claimed to operate very ecological and offered a broad range of organic food. ConceptOn 14 December 2016, Locomore began running a daily service between Stuttgart and Berlin. Travel time between Stuttgart Hbf and Berlin Hbf was 6:26 southbound, and 6:47 northbound. The majority of the route runs on existing German high speed lines where the service travels up to 200 km/h. In order to compete against the Deutsche Bahn's quasi-monopoly over long-distance travel in Germany, Locomore's prices were similar to those of long distance buses, and they aim to provide a high-standard of in-seat service. The Locomore service also runs entirely on green energy.[3] Tickets are available for purchase online and via the Flixbus smartphone app. As is also the case for other private operators in Germany such as Hamburg-Köln-Express and Thalys, tickets are unavailable through Deutsche Bahn points of sale. Early bookers pay lower prices and could choose between multiple service levels, and all tickets were nominative and included seat reservations. Space is provided on board for pushchairs and bikes. There are themed sections for families with children; children under 14 can travel for free. NetworkThe cities Vaihingen an der Enz, Heidelberg, Darmstadt, Frankfurt am Main, Hanau, Fulda, Kassel, Göttingen, Hannover and Wolfsburg were connected with Stuttgart and Berlin. While the train only stopped at the main station in Stuttgart, the train stopped in Berlin Zoologischer Garten, Berlin-Hauptbahnhof, Berlin-Ostbahnhof and Berlin-Lichtenberg railway stations in Berlin.[4] Since December 2017 the train also stops at Berlin-Ostkreuz and Lehrte. Three new connections were planned for 2017: Frankfurt-Stuttgart-Augsburg-München, Berlin-Hannover-Dortmund-Düsseldorf-Köln-Bonn and Berlin-Prenzlau-Stralsund-Binz.[5] With the insolvency and re-launch in August 2017 future plans are currently unknown. Owners and foundersThe shares have been owned:
Other founders and employees have been Max Sigg (Marketing), Pierre Daniel Bertholdt (Business Development, Transactions) and Jan Christopher Witt (Operations) [6]VehiclesBm235 type UIC passenger coach types with 12 passenger compartments are used. The coaches were used in the Netherlands up until 2009. All carriages had free Wi-Fi. There are three passenger carriage variants:
The wagons are certified for a top speed of 200 km/h. They were leased from owner SRI Rail Invest GmbH.[7][8] The locomotives and drivers are provided by Hector Rail. A Siemens ES64U2 with a top speed of 230 km/h was used.[9][10] FoodAn in-seat trolley service of snacks, hot and cold drinks, and small meals (salads, sandwiches) was available. Refreshment choices were Fair Trade and organic where possible.[9] FinancingSince June 2015, Locomore has raised funds through a crowdfunding campaign, allowing private individuals to invest in the company via pledges and donations. As of 6 December 2016, Locomore had received €608.761 in investments, largely exceeding their funding goal of €460,000. Investors can choose between receiving interest payments on their donation of 3.5% per annum and receiving travel vouchers for use on the service. On 26 January 2016 the company announced that they had successfully raised the capital necessary to launch the train service.[11] HistoryLocomore GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2007 and in 2009 was a founding member of the Hamburg-Köln-Express GmbH, which launched the Hamburg-Köln-Express in 2012 in direct competition with the Deutsche Bahn between Hamburg and Cologne. In 2012, Locomore sold its holdings in Hamburg-Köln-Express GmbH to concentrate on launching its own rail service in competition with Deutsche Bahn. InsolvencyOn May 11, 2017, Locomore announced that it had filed for insolvency in district court. Service was terminated as new investors could not be found to keep the railroad company operational.[12] In August 2017 Czech open access train operator LEO Express had acquired some Locomore assets including its leased rolling stock, the majority of the staff and the brand. It plans to relaunch service from 24 August 2017.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news|first1=DVV Media|last1=UK|title=LEO Express to relaunch Locomore service|url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/passenger/single-view/view/leo-express-to-relauch-locomore-service.html|newspaper=Railway Gazette}} 2. ^[https://www.flixbus.de/locomore Locomore fährt wieder!
