Implementation of additional measures for track infrastructure in 2023
The Federal Government intends to provide substantial additional funds in the coming years to modernize the rail network. This increased funding will become available in 2024. In order not to lose time on urgently needed measures, the rail infrastructure companies of Deutsche Bahn Group (DB Group) will step up in 2023 with their own funds for replacement capital expenditures – for example, to compensate for inflation effects – and additional maintenance expenses in advance, which are also invested in the maintenance of the railways. These advance payments are to be replaced by Federal funds in 2024.
