German Rail: A year with Rail Chief Palla - the woman who promises nothing
With Evelyn Palla as head, the railways have posted a profit for the first time in years. However, punctuality has been disappointing. Pressure from politicians is increasing.
Evelyn Palla, the first female head of Deutsche Bahn, has been in her role for a year, trying to address criticism and make changes to the struggling company. She meets with employees, many of whom have a background as train drivers, and listens to their concerns, including the need for a more unified IT system and an end to using Excel.
Palla, who herself has a train driver's license, is taking a cautious approach, saying that changes will take time. She has been meeting with employees at various locations, including the ICE Werk in Leipzig and the company's headquarters in Berlin.
