DSB cuts 140 administrative jobs

Cost pressures are being blamed for DSB's decision to cut 140 administrative jobs following consultation with trades unions.

The decision follows the Sporskifte 2010 programme, and is in addition to 200 similar positions lost two years ago. The company says in a press release that the move will 'make the company more competitive' and allow it to focus on customer-facing initiatives.

Around 40 of the posts will be lost in January when the maintenance activities of DSB and DSB S-tog are merged in a separate company (see here for Danish Rail News' story).
