Abellio

Abellio is a public transport operator that focuses on rail and bus services. The company is a subsidiary of Abellio GmbH, which is itself owned by Dutch Railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen). Abellio operates primarily in the United Kingdom and Germany, although it has had operations in other European countries as well.

In the United Kingdom, Abellio has operated various train franchises, including ScotRail and the Greater Anglia franchise. It also runs bus services in several regions. Abellio's approach typically involves improving passenger experience, reliability, and sustainability. The company often emphasizes its commitment to customer service and integrating its operations with local communities.

In Germany, Abellio Deutschland has been a significant player in regional rail transport, often winning contracts for services previously operated by Deutsche Bahn. Its services are characterized by modern rolling stock and a focus on punctuality and passenger comfort. Abellio's business model relies on competitive bidding for public transport concessions, aiming to provide efficient and high-quality services under these agreements. The company's expansion into different markets is driven by its parent company's strategy to grow its international presence in the public transport sector.
