Railway: Court of Auditors sees misdevelopments in railway renovations
With "corridor renovations" the partly dilapidated rail network is to be brought up to date. However, the Court of Auditors calls for adjustments.
The German Federal Court of Auditors has criticized the German railway company Deutsche Bahn for significant shortcomings in the renovation of heavily used railway lines. According to a report, previous economic viability studies were "flawed and unreliable". The Court of Auditors demands that the Federal Ministry of Transport prove the economic viability and success of the renovations in a "budget-compliant" manner.
The ministry has confirmed existing deficits in economic viability studies and success control, but has not disputed the Court's findings.
