DSB staff are celebrating a monthly punctuality record for long distance and regional trains of 93.7% of trains arriving on time - the highest figure since operational performance has been measured.
Traffic Manager Stig Friisbæk says 'hard and focused work every day' is responsible for the upswing in punctuality, allied with a close working relationship between DSB and Banedanmark staff. "We have a good work ethic and spirit," he adds.
Director of Traffic Planning Ove Dahl Kristensen was also delighted with the performance: "Banedanmark should definitely have a lot of credit for it here. Fewer local speed reductions due to improved rail has been the main reason for the great result. Meanwhile, the very close cooperation established between Banedanmark and DSB has provided fantastic results."
DSB acknowledges that it will be hard to maintain this level of performance, with the annual leaf fall season beginning to get underway, and long range predictions of a harsh winter.
