Halbleib: mainschleifenbahn needs money and organization

The recently presented successful potential analysis of the bavarian railroad company (BEG) about the expected passenger volume of the mainschleifenbahn encourages the member of the state parliament volkmar halbleib (SPD) from ochsenfurt to state in a press release that the way to a reactivation of the railroad line between volkach-astheim and wurzburg "despite resistance and doubts of the BEG and the bavarian ministry of transport is now finally clear" is. The analysis sees up to 1400 commuters per day who could use the main loop railroad.

Mabgebliche role as shareholder demanded

In order for trains to actually start rolling again on the railroad between the mainschleife and wurzburg, the most important thing now is to clarify who will organize the operation of the railroad and where the money needed for its operation will come from. In a letter to the district councils of tamara bischof (kitzingen), eberhard nub (wurzburg) and florian topper (schweinfurt), the delegate therefore calls for the rapid establishment of a rail infrastructure company.

Schaeffler sees itself back on track

At 505 million euros, consolidated net profit for the first six months was a good fifth below the previous year’s level – on sales of 5.652 billion euros (plus 5.1 percent); however, special effects from financial market transactions had pushed the profit at that time to unusual heights. If the first quarter of 2011 is disregarded, schaeffler generated its highest quarterly net profit since 2010 from april to june 2012 at 269 million euros.

CEO jurgen geibinger therefore expressed his satisfaction when presenting the half-year figures on tuesday: "we were able to continue the success story of the past two years. We have again generated a gross profit."The fact that it wasn’t rougher also has something to do with the schaeffler group’s billions in debt.

All in all, the group is currently suffering from a debt burden of around 12 billion euros, part of which is parked at the schaeffler holding company.
