Not only is Trainose about to be declared the preferred bidder for 100 percent of railway carriage maintenance company Rosco, but it is now eyeing Greece's urban transport too.

On Friday state sell-off fund TAIPED accepted the improved bid for Rosco, which amounts to 22 million euros.

Italian railway company Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane attributes great significance to the acquisition of 100 percent of Greek operator Trainose, while there will be changes in the operation mode of the local railway company now it is moving away from the state's control.
