DSB SEEKS OPERATING FRANCHISE EXTENSION

Danish State Railways (DSB), a state owned operator, is set to benefit from the failure of privatization in Denmark. The company has an existing 5-year contract that runs until the end of 2004, but the crisis that hit passenger rail services as a result of privatization earlier this year has convinced the Ministry of Transport that a new contract is needed in place ahead of the next franchise period. The expectation is that DSB would get a new 10-year contract which would give it a monopoly on the majority of the national rail network until 2015.
