Derailed
DSB’s goal is to provide reliable passenger transport on rail. Well, okay: DSB has messed up the commission and delivery of new long-distance trains in an epic way, the engines on IC3-trainsets catch fire and we shouldn’t even begin to talk about Kystbanen (even if that is technically run by a company called DSBLast – er DSBFirst).
So what to do? Concentrate on providing passenger transport or concentrate on discrediting media which reports on public transport.
Silly me: Discrediting reporters, not providing services for passengers are at the centre of attention for DSB’s management. The people who work at the delivery points and have to deal with frustrated passengers must feel pretty let down.

I’m off to the theatre tonight so there will be no immediate postings.
