Board Glad About Nordhausen Decision

Wernigerode Germany - The Harz narrow gauge railways welcome the decision of the district of Nordhausen to remain in the company.
 
The Chairman of the HSB, District Administrator Michael Ermrich of Wernigerode, said on Wednesday they would try to meet Nordhausen's expectations.
 
However, the HSB are not responsible for tourism in the whole Harz.
 
Ermrich was referring to a decision by the district of Nordhausen the previous day, stating the HSB should do more to market the network in northern Thüringia.
 
He also urged the council that the company will participate in the development of a tourism concept for the district of Nordhausen.
 
Nordhausen Landrätin Birgit Keller had proposed in April that Nordhausen district get out of the narrow gauge railways company.
