Germany’s Deutsche Bahn (DB) rail operator is to receive €50 billion in funding over the next 10 years. Readers who travel throughout Germany by train will be seeing improvements in the years ahead. The government funding will be used mainly to support a huge modernisation programme covering both short- and long distance routes. Allrail (an organisation representing open access operators in mainland Europe and Scandinavia) is concerned as some funding could support DB’s commercial activities. See our rail report in the April 2020 issue of Business traveller.
