DSB's transformation
In the last decade DSB has undergone a tremendous change from a government department to a state-owned company. It has been a period of great rationalisation and refocusing. Infrastructure management was separated in 1997 and DSB's Freight division was disposed of in 2000. This and other rationalisations have allowed DSB to reduce staff numbers from 20,4000 in 1993 to around 9,000 in 2006 and increase train-km per employee by 30 per cent in 5 years. Furthermore, DSB has seen a number of epic changes including the opening of the Great Belt and the Öresund fixed links, the tendering out of national traffic in 2001, and international expansion in Sweden in 2003 and 2004.
