The state of Lower Saxony wants to negotiate an early termination of the transport contract for the so-called Hanseatic network. A corresponding contract should be drawn up by the end of February.
The aim is to then re-tender the routes and hand them over to another operator. The important routes Hamburg-Bremen, Hamburg-Lüneburg-Uelzen, Uelzen-Celle-Hannover and Hanover-Northeim-Göttingen are affected.
