CURRENT PROBLEMS OF THE GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAY

AKTUELLE PROBLEME DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

The report on the stabilization of the German Federal Railway's financial situation which was recently presented to the German Minister of Transport explains the course to be followed by the DB in the future. In the first phase--that of investment and expansion--where the aim is to obtain a fundamental improvement of the situation in the undertaking, plans are to increase transport services considerably without a basic change in staff size. The second phase--that of automation and concentration--which is expected to result in a considerable saving of manpower, requires the modification of the network structure. The construction of new sections of line, which is to begin shortly, will provide the conditions required for this objective. The sections are part of the Master Plan for the European Railway of the Future. According to studies on the trial installations planned for the Danube basin, the maximum capacity high-speed line will complete the conventional railway network.
