DSB to get a makeover

National rail operator DSB is going to go through a top-to-bottom makeover in the future, according to CEO Jesper Lok. Lok maintained that the current structural model of DSB no longer ensured the delivery of a reliable train service, while the organisation's internal organisation lacks financial transparency. DSB has promised to cut costs by one billion kroner a year, but experts doubt that DSB will survive the liberal EU rail markets of the future. – Børsen

Some 38 percent of (S) voters believe that increasing public investment is most important while only 15 percent think that enhanced competitiveness is of primary importance. – Berlingske
