– DSB is challenged by increasing competition from cheaper cars and buses as well as the transfer of lines to other operators. It means that we must continuously minimize our costs and adapt the company to future requirements, including a more efficient administration, and a further reduction of the workforce. We have previously increased the efficiency of the administration, with a reduction in the number of employees and managers, and recently we have requested a direktørområde in the DSB, said the managing director of the DSB Flemming Jensen, since today’s round of layoffs was announced earlier in the month.

‘DSB is the only one of the companies we have agreements with, which stands of well-trained staff with jernbanekompetencer.
All the other companies are struggling to hold on to them and looking daily with light and lighting for employees with the special skills as jernbanebranchen need. They see it as an investment to hold on to its employees and further educate them’, he writes on Facebook.

the DSB has through recent years been pressure on a number of parameters. The ailing IC4 trains has meant that the DSB through a number of years has been a lack of stock to ensure stabiltogdrift. Thus the DSB has been caught, because a large part of the rail network is being electrified. Thus, it has not sense to go out and buy new diesel trains. The customers must thus wait on the rail network is ready for new trains. Instead, it is the old IC3 trains in the largely sought to be doctored up with fresh new fabric on the seats and refurbished toilets.
over the past year, the DSB also shorn cloudy with a large part of the medarbejderskaren. The background for the dispute is that the DSB has joined in the private employers ‘ organisation the confederation of Danish Industry and terminated the agreements with the state. In this connection, the DSB end to a long series of negotiated with the staff.
the Background is primarily that the DSB by the end of 2017 joined the Danish Industry. In this connection, the railways terminated all agreements and negotiated, which has since been renegotiated. The turmoil has led to more sick leaves, like strikes lurked through 2018.
at the same time, customers are starting to wave goodbye to the DSB, shows the latest annual report from the railways.
Close to the DSB’s head of press: the Go-Go-girls must not save DSB
Alone from 2017 to 2018, there has been a decrease of 0.6 percent in passenger numbers.
the DSB has at several times been criticised for not lowering the prices. Railways are, however, required by law of a takstsamarbejde with the transport companies in Denmark. It means that the danes can use DSB-tickets in the buses, and vice versa. Therefore, DSB instead opted to introduce Orange-tickets, as the prices can be lowered. The tickets are not as flexible as a standardbillet, like they can only be used in DSB’s transport system. DSB may, however, request the department of transportation to come out of takstsamarbejdet, but it has finished so far not taken advantage of, even if several competitors have taken hold in the market with significantly lower rates.
