The order book increased slightly during the first half of 2018. The additions from transport contracts of about € 6.9 billion were offset by disposals (mainly due to services rendered) of about € 6.1 billion and premises changes of about € –0.4 billion. The increased order book of DB Regional is due in particular to the transport contracts won forS-Bahn (metro) Berlin (transition contract sub-network north-south and city line), the Ulm diesel network and the Taunus line.
