6 PASSENGER TRAIN OPERATORS ACTIVE IN DENMARK Arriva Tog A/S ( This subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn-owned Arriva Danmark operates local passenger services on 583 km of lines in central and western Jutland. The contract awarded by Trafikstyrelsen runs for eight years from December 2010, with an option for a further two years; this contract follows on from two that commenced in January Following agreement with the Schleswig-Holstein transport authority and German operator NEG, from December 2010 most Arriva trains to Tønder were extended 17 km to Niebüll in Germany. The company also operates passenger services on the 37.6 km Vestbanen between Varde and Nørre Nebel under a contract for Sydtrafik that commenced in July 2012 and runs alongside the one for the rest of the system. Rolling stock: 43 Alstom Coradia LINT 41 diesel railcars, 2 of which are owned by Sydtrafik. Danske Statsbaner ( This is the former state railway that now only operates passenger services; since 1999 it has been a state company owned by the Transport Ministry. Financial support for 2015 is under a one-year contract, but a new contract running for at least five years is expected to come into effect at the beginning of Together with its subsidiary DSB Øresund, DSB operates all passenger services on the national network except those run by Arriva Tog. It also operates services on Midttrafik s Århus-Odder line. Long-distance services from København are divided into portions for different termini on reaching Jutland and most lines have a better than hourly level of service. In 2013 DSB services (excluding DSB S-Tog) recorded 50.5 million passenger journeys, less than 0.5% down on Subsidiary DSB Vedligehold A/S competes for rolling stock maintenance and rebuilding contracts. Rolling stock: 6 Class EA Bo-Bo 4,000 kw AC electric-locomotives; 44 four-car IR4 AC EMUs; 33 Class ME 2,426 kw diesel-locomotives for suburban services east of the Great Belt; 96 IC3 threecar articulated DMUs for long-distance services; and 53 Class MR and 20 Class MQ Desiro twocar DMUs for local services. There is an option for a further 80 MQ. A pool of 13 four-car ICE-TD diesel-trainsets is hired from Deutsche Bahn for trains to Germany. The service from København to Ystad in Sweden for ferry passengers to the island of Bornholm is operated by DSB using an Øresund EMU supplied by DSB Øresund. There are also 113 double-deck coaches, and 25 new electric locomotives are expected to be purchased or leased to operate with these. The EA electric locomotives have undergone life-extension and upgrading work so that they can operate with the double-deck coaches. Eighty-three four-car IC4 diesel-trainsets and 23 two-car IC2 should have been delivered by the end of 2006, but delivery was only completed in 2013 (except for one IC4 diverted to Libya). Serious problems continue and only a few have entered service; the uncertainty over the type s future has bedevilled the company s rolling stock plans. A large scale procurement programme is expected to be approved in early 2015 and this should result in the acquisition of over 250 EMUs, some of which could have a top speed of 250 km/h, with delivery starting in There would be two or three types, although all would probably be variants of one standard design. Almost all of the existing fleet should be withdrawn by the late 2020s. DSB S-Tog ( This division of Danske Statsbaner operates 172 km of double-track 1.65 kv DC lines in the København area. Until 2013 it was a wholly owned subsidiary of Danske Statsbaner. In 2013 DSB S-Tog recorded million passenger journeys (106.8 million in 2012). Rolling stock: A homogenous fleet of 104 eight-car and 31 four-car articulated EMUs delivered by Alstom (originally LHB) between 1995 and THE RAIL MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES Brooks Events Ltd

7 DSB Øresund A/S ( A contract running from January 2009 to the 2015/2016 timetable change was awarded to DSBFirst, in which Danske Statsbaner held a majority share, for the Danish Helsingør-København(- Malmö) route and for the continuation of its services over a large part of south and west Sweden. Serious financial problems resulted in the contract being split in December 2011 so that DSB Øresund is now only responsible for trains between Helsingør and Malmö; København-Malmö is jointly operated with Veolia Transport Sverige. The company s operations are to be returned to Danske Statsbaner before the end of Rolling stock: 34 Class ET/FT Øresund three-car bi-current EMUs in a pool with 77 similar Swedishowned units. Lokalbanen A/S ( This wholly owned subsidiary of transport authority Movia operates local passenger services only on five routes totalling 133 km to the north of København. Rolling stock: 25 Alstom Coradia LINT 41 DMUs and 4 Duewag RegioSprinters, the latter restricted to and entirely responsible for the Lyngby-Nærum line. The company also uses one former Danske Statsbaner GM-engined diesel-locomotive. Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S ( This subsidiary of Midttrafik is responsible for two lines in central Jutland, including owning their infrastructure. Passenger services on the 57 km Vemb-Thyborøn line are operated by subsidiary Midtjyske Jernbaner Drift A/S, which also operates freight services. The 26.5 km Århus-Odder line has been operated by Danske Statsbaner since December Rolling stock: the Vemb-Thyborøn line employs 4 Duewag/Scandia two- and three-car DMUs; replacement of the trainsets is expected in the medium term. Nordjyske Jernbaner A/S ( This company is 89% owned by transport authority Nordjyllandstrafik and operates two lines totalling 57 km at the northern tip of Jutland. From the end of 2016 the company will be responsible for local services on the Banedanmark network north of Skørping. Rolling stock: 8 Siemens Desiro DMUs and 1 former Deutsche Bundesbahn Köf III tractor. 12 or 13 additional DMUs will be required for the new services at the end of Regionstog A/S ( This subsidiary of transport authority Movia operates local passenger services only on four lines on the island of Sjælland and one on the island of Lolland totalling 198 km. Rolling stock: 16 Alstom Coradia LINT 41 and built Adtranz Flexliners DMUs. There are also 4 former Danske Statsbaner GM-engined diesel-locomotives and 3 tractors acquired from Deutsche Bundesbahn.
