 Information services to
travellers
 Modular training
 Individually conceived
further training in keeping
with requirements
 More coaching for train drivers
 Staff rooms
 Health schemes
The structure of the applicable regulations and instructions has been and
is continuing to be revised - special focus on activity and target groups
From regulation-related language and
structure…

… to a focus on activity and direct contact in
the “Züge fahren und rangieren” [“Train Driving
and Shunting”] rule book …
§
§
§
“You are responsible as a train driver for
the stabling or immobilisation of vehicles
or train components, and for notifying the
traffic superintendent accordingly.“
… and short-term instructions.

Supervision of train drivers
(based on Directive
408.1111)
Tasks based on
regional areas of
emphasis
The path we have embarked on is the right one –
we continue to be on track
Many changes have
developed the job profile of
our train drivers in the
direction of becoming
customer-focused
suppliers of transport
services.
Neither the great number
of changes nor the speed
with which they have been
“got on track” has had any
negative effect on the
safety of our rail transport
operations.
DB Regio statistic 2005:
only 0.3 accidents for
every million train path
kilometres
