Infrastructure

For 2018 as a whole, we expect train-path demand to remain largely constant in the wake of expanded rail passenger transport services and the stable development of rail freight transport. The planned reduction of train-path prices offers opportunities in rail freight transport.

In terms of station stops, we expect a slight increase in the year-on-year comparison. The share of train stops operated by non-Group railways will continue to increase. Leasing income in stations will also show stable development and be slightly over the level of the previous year (+1.1%).
