DB ML Group’s business units DB BAHN REGIONAL As of January 1, 2011, all of our regional bus and rail transport activities in Germany, as well as cross-border regional transport ser- vices to and from Germany, were bundled together in the DB Bahn Regional business unit. Our rail transport offers connections to major metropolitan areas as well as rural destinations via our extensive regional trans- port network. We are active with 22 different companies in the bus transport segment, making us the biggest provider in Germany. DB BAHN LONG-DISTANCE The DB Bahn Long-Distance business unit provides national and cross-border long-distance rail transport services. We connect 150 German cities to major European cities such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and Zurich via our long-distance rail services. Daily scheduled rail service is the core business of long-distance transport. We want to convince customers of our offers and expand our market share by keeping our promise of providing quick and comfortable connections directly into cities at attractive prices. In addition to our services in Germany we are gradually expanding our international range of offers. DB ARRIVA As of January 1, 2011 we bundled together all of our regional transport activities outside of Germany (with the exception of cross-border routes to and from Germany) in the new DB Arriva business unit. The business unit comprises bus and/ or rail transports in eleven European countries: Denmark, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

DB SERVICES The availability of reliable services is a central prerequisite for smoothly operating mobility and logistical services and thus for the competi- tiveness of rail transport. DB Group companies are the main customers of the primarily trans- port-related infrastructure management and infrastructure-linked services. B ACK ON TRACK DB ML Group after the economic crisis P ASSENGER TRANSPORT Mobility offers are part of our core competencies. We are active across Europe in 17 countries with bus and/or rail transport provided by our DB Bahn Long-Distance, DB Bahn Regional and DB Arriva business units.

Demand was primarily influenced by operating factors. The acquisition of Arriva means that we are also very well positioned in the European regional transport market. Arriva not only operates the well-known red double-decker buses in London, it also runs rail transports and water buses. TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS We have positioned ourselves with a single market appearance under the DB Schenker brand as a strong partner to transport and logistics customers around the world. The effects of the economic crisis were particularly felt by the rail freight transport and air freight segments. 91,000 EMPLOYEES AROUND THE WORLD 1 | IRELAND | 137 employees 20 | FINLAND | 1,284 employees 2 | GREAT BRITAIN | 4,329 employees 20 21 | ESTONIA | 153 employees 21 3 | DENMARK | 516 employees 18 22 | LATVIA | 71 employees 19 22 4 | GERMANY | 32,336 employees 23 24 23 | LITHUANIA | 50 employees 3 5 | THE NETHERLANDS | 2,083 employees 25 24 | WHITE RUSSIA 28 6 | BELGIUM | 499 employees 25 | UKRAINE | 63 employees 1 5 26 2 4 8 7 | LUXEMBOURG | 32 employees 6 27 26 | MOLDOVA | 27 employees 7 10 29 30 8 | CZECH REPUBLIC | 777 employees 27 | SLOVAKIA | 128 employees 15 11 9 12 9 | SLOVENIA | 126 employees 33 28 | POLAND | 7,028 employees 31 32 35 10 | AUSTRIA | 1,667 employees 34 29 | HUNGARY | 346 employees 13 36 11 | SWITZERLAND | 554 employees 30 | ROMANIA | 1,284 employees 16 37 17 12 | CROATIA | 99 employees 31 | BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA | 38 employees 13 | ITALY | 1,435 employees 32 | SERBIA | 43 employees 14 | MALTA 33 | BULGARIA | 317 employees 14 15 | FRANCE | 5,961 employees 34 | MACEDONIA | 37 employees 16 | SPAIN | 1,791 employees 35 | KOSOVO 17 | PORTUGAL | 278 employees 36 | ALBANIA 18 | NORWAY | 1,239 employees 37 | GREECE | 149 employees 19 | SWEDEN | 3,824 employees AMERICAS EUROPE ASIA 8,862 employees 69,664 employees 10,238 employees AUSTRALIA/ AFRICA OCEANIA 793 employees 1,734 employees Logistics (DB ML Group companies or partners) Rail freight transport (DB ML Group companies or partners) No. 1 in rail freight transport in Europe 378.7 341.0 415.4 2008 2009 2010 Rail freight transport (million t) The rail freight transport sector was especially hit by the effects of the economic crisis and the resulting collapse of key industries like the iron, coal and steel industry (Montan) and the automotive sector.

  • Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE
    ITEM 1 TRANSPORT COMMITTEE NEWS 07 MARCH 2000 This report may be of interest to: All Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE Accountable Officer: John Inman Author: Stephen Mortimer 1. Purpose 1.1 To advise the Committee of developments relating to Milton Keynes’ rail services. 2. Summary 2.1 West Coast Main Line Modernisation and Upgrade is now in the active planning stage. It will result in faster and more frequent train services between Milton Keynes Central and London, and between Milton Keynes Central and points north. Bletchley and Wolverton will also have improved services to London. 2.2 Funding for East-West Rail is now being sought from the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SSRA) for the western end of the line (Oxford-Bedford). Though the SSRA have permitted a bid only for a 60 m.p.h. single-track railway, excluding the Aylesbury branch and upgrade of the Marston Vale (Bedford-Bletchley) line, other Railtrack investment and possible developer contributions (yet to be investigated) may allow these elements to be included, as well as perhaps a 90 m.p.h. double- track railway. As this part of East-West Rail already exists, no form of planning permission is required; however, Transport and Works Act procedures are to be started to build the missing parts of the eastern end of the line. 2.3 New trains were introduced on the Marston Vale line, Autumn 1999. A study of the passenger accessibility of Marston Vale stations identified various desirable improvements, for which a contribution of £10,000 is required from this Council.

  • Can Competition for and in the Market Co-Exist in Terms of Delivering Cost Efficient Services? Evidence from Open Access Train O

Evidence from open access train T operators and their franchised counterparts in Britain ⁎ Phill Wheata, , Andrew S.J. Smitha, Torris Rasmussenb a Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds, UK b Norwegian Railway Directorate, Norway ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This paper aims to inform an important policy debate in Europe on how best to open up pas- Returns to density senger rail markets to increased competition: and specifically, whether to allow open access train Competition-in-the-market operators alongside franchised (tendered) operators. The paper utilises new British data to Competition-for-the-market analyse the cost side of this debate. Our data is unique in that we have cost data by route level for both the incumbent (corresponding to British franchises) and the open access operators, as op- posed to only having cost data on the incumbent at the network level as in other countries. The open access operators are found to have comparable unit costs to franchised operators. This is unexpected considering the significant returns to density that benefit the larger franchised op- erators. This is subsequently found to be due to lower input prices and an ‘open access business model’ effect that outweigh any density disadvantages. Overall we find that there are negligible cost disadvantages of allowing open access operators to compete with franchised intercity op- erators.

  • 6. Tackling Congestion
    6. Tackling Congestion Reducing the levels of congestion remains a fundamental objective in this Plan. This not only look at addressing congestion related problems currently being experienced in Southend but at managing expected traffic growth in the future. The latter is essential in ensuring future aspirations for the Borough are realised, especially plans for regeneration and intensification of the urban area. Southend already experiences significant delays on many sections of its key routes. Without intervention, overall traffic levels on local highway network during the morning peak hour are forecast to grow by over 20% by 2011 and 35% by 2016. As a result, peak hour traffic conditions will deteriorate significantly with journey times on strategic routes expected to increase by between 50% and 75% by 2011, and doubling by 2016. It is clear that the strategy for reducing congestion has synergies with the transport measures and policies identified to deliver other shared priorities, namely accessibility, safer roads, better air quality and quality of life. Improvement in terms of accessibility and safety will make alternatives to the car more attractive, and similarly reducing traffic levels and congestion will likely reduce numbers of accidents and impacts on air quality. An Overview to Achieving the Shared Priority The LTP strategy will help deliver improved and more reliable journey times for all road users and seek to redress the balance of the transport system by making non-car modes a far more attractive alternative to the car for many trips. The strategy is based on managing the existing network, as well as reinforcing and strengthening measures and policies aimed at influencing people’s travel behaviour and ultimately promoting sensible travel choices.
