The Metronom railway company (German: Metronom Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH) is a German non-entirely-state-owned railway company[1] based in the Lower Saxon town of Uelzen since December 2005. The company's activities focus exclusively on passenger transport, operating services from Hamburg to Bremen, Lüneburg and Uelzen, and from Uelzen to Hanover and Göttingen. Services listed on the timetables are abbreviated ME. Furthermore, the company operates services from Wolfsburg to Hanover and Hildesheim under its other brand Enno.[2]
The company's logo, depicting a swinging pendulum, is often rendered in lower case as metronom (the German word Metronom literally meaning metronome).
