Dutch state-owned railway company NS has confirmed it is looking for a buyer for its regional bus company Qbuzz.

NS said in early March that it wanted to sell Qbuzz because it is no longer part of its core activities. Qbuzz is active in the north of the country and around Utrecht.

The company was set up in 2008 and booked sales of €208m last year, according to news agency ANP. Last year, the Telegraaf tipped the French as a potential buyer.
