TrainOSE is the railway company that operates train services on the Greek Railways (OSE) network. The company is a subsidiary of the Italian Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane .
history
leader
On November 24, 2005, the OSE Supervisory Board decided to split up the company and partially privatize it . The railway infrastructure company should remain in state ownership under the OSE company, while the traffic on it should be given into private hands. However, initially nothing happened. In view of the Greek sovereign debt crisis , plans were resumed in 2012. A sale of the traffic should generate income of 200 million euros. As a result, TrainOSE was spun off from the OSE as a subsidiary in 2013. Railway companies from Austria, France, Romania and Russia expressed interest. Again nothing happened.
privatization
The Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund put TrainOSE up for sale in early 2016 . On July 14, 2016, the privatization authority announced that it would accept the only existing bid, that of the Italian state railway Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane , in the amount of 45 million euros. The sales contract was signed on January 18, 2017. The transfer of ownership took place on September 14, 2017.
Business operations
TrainOSE operates both passenger and freight traffic and has 637 employees. TrainOSE runs around 350 trains per day, two thirds of them in suburban traffic and one third in regional and long-distance traffic . It transports 15.6 million travelers and 1.1 million tons of goods per year. The revenues from ordinary business activities in 2016 totaled EUR 60,828,116.01, of which EUR 47,131,310.82 in passenger transport (EUR 34,697,928.38 long-distance and regional transport and EUR 12,433,382.44 Proastiakos ), 12,289 EUR 791.20 in freight transport and EUR 1,407,013.99 in bus transport.
The railway vehicles were spun off into a separate company during the privatization and are not part of the privatization. This own company is the owner of the 1160 railway vehicles.
