Meridian was a commuter rail service that operated between 2013 and 2020 in Bavaria, Germany operated by the railway company Bayerische Oberlandbahn (BOB), owned by Transdev.[1]
Since June 2020 these services run under the brand Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) of Transdev.
In 2011 Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft signed a contract with Transdev (then Veolia Transport) to operate the "E-network Rosenheim" from December 2013, replacing previous operator DB Regio Bayern.[2]
Since December 2013 Meridian operated three lines in Bavaria, from Munich to Salzburg, Rosenheim and Kufstein.[3]
Services
Services run out of Munich on the Munich–Rosenheim and Munich–Holzkirchen railway lines, and out of Rosenheim on the Rosenheim–Salzburg, Rosenheim–Kufstein and Mangfall Valley lines.[4]
Meridian operated a fleet of 35 FLIRT3 electric multiple units from Stadler Rail.[5]
