“The merger of the two infrastructure divisions to form DB InfraGO AG is a major reform step for the railways in Germany. With today’s resolutions, we have created a further corporate law requirement for the infrastructure oriented towards the common good. This represents another essential pillar of our comprehensive program for renewal and modernisation.”

“We are implementing the most extensive investment programme for the rail network and stations since the rail reform in 1994. In this way, we are making the infrastructure fit for growth and modal shift and creating the basis for achieving the federal government’s transport and climate policy goals for rail. To achieve our ambitious goals, we must make the best possible use of synergies between the route and stations and become more effective. Today’s resolutions by the Supervisory Board create an essential prerequisite so that we can get started in January.”
