    Det forløbne år har været særdeles begivenhedsrigt for den danske jernbane. Desværre ikke kun af den positive slags. Kort inde i det nye år skete den forfærdelige ulykke på lavbroen over Storebælt, som kostede otte mennesker livet. Det blev et endegyldigt farvel til de aldrende MR togsæt, mens der var to indvielser og en genindvielse, højhastighedsbanen mellem København og Ringsted, den københavnske metro blev udvidet med Cityringen, mens Grenaabanen blev genindviet i form af en letbane efter flere års lukning. Det nye signalsystem på fjernbanen kom omsider i gang i Vendsyssel på strækningen mellem Lindholm og Frederikshavn.

    I 1932 begyndte DSB for alvor at satse på busdrift. Vi følger historien i overordnede træk fra den spæde begyndelse i Sønderjylland og op gennem tiden til den bitre ende.Historien fortælles gennem billeder, som viser os de første rutebiler og derefter mangelsituationen under besættelsen og udvidelserne i årene derefter. Igennem 1950'erne, hvor rutebilerne havde deres storhedstid, følger vi udviklingen hen imod standardiserede bustyper. Mangfoldigheden var stor, og heldigvis har vi kunnet vise billeder af de fleste bustyper. I 1960'erne begyndte passagererne at udeblive, og der måtte indskrænkes på forskellig vis. Men trods dette kommer nye ruter til, bl.a. i takt med at jernbaner nedlægges. I de næste to årtier indtræder en form for stabilitet, som skyldes lovgivningen om, at amter og kommuner får det overordnede ansvar for bustrafikken. DSB rutebiler indtræder som entreprenør og udfører kørslen på kontrakt. Enkelte ruter drives dog fortsat for egen regning.I 1990'erne bliver det meste af buskørselen udbudt i licitation - og DSB busser bliver et selvstændigt aktieselskab, som udskilles fra DSB og overdrages til Trafikministeriet. Kort efter skifter DSB busser navn til Combus. I denne periode genindtræder tidligere tiders mangfoldighed i materiellet i takt med, at der stilles forskellige krav fra trafikselskaberne. Combus kom hurtigt ud i et sandt økonomisk uvejr, og i 2001 solgte Trafikministeriet selskabet til Arriva.Tag med på en tur med DSBs busser fra 1932 og op gennem tiden til afslutningen med Combus i 2001.

    Efter en stille opstart, endte 2017 trods oddsene alligevel med at blive et godt år for jernbanen, da forligspartierne bag Togfonden uden om Regeringen fik trumfet den nye bane over Vestfyn igennem og fandt ekstra midler til elektrificering og hastighedsopgradering af den Østjyske længdebane. Banedanmark kunne afslutte elektrificeringen mellem Lunderskov og Esbjerg og der kører nu eltog mellem København og Esbjerg. Ved DSB siger man endegyldigt farvel til BR 605, som i godt ti år har transporteret mange rejsende mellem Danmark og Hamburg. Nordjyske Jernbaner overtog regionaltogstrafikken mellem Frederikshavn og Skørping. Det skrider også fremad med letbanen i Aarhus, selv om åbningen er udskudt.

  • - En togrejse
    af Torbjørn Færøvik
    137,95 - 257,95 kr.

    Velkommen til en velfortalt og sansemættet rejse fra London til Samarkand med den berømte Orientekspressen. Orientekspressen var et eksklusivt og legendarisk tog, der i knap hundrede år fra 1883 til 1977 fragtede passagerer mellem Paris og Istanbul. Ruten blev især berømt takket være krimiforfatteren Agatha Christie, der lader et af sine mest berømte mord foregå om bord på netop dette tog. Journalist og forfatter Torbjørn Færøvik rejser i denne bog på sporet af nogle af historiens mest centrale kulturpersonligheder - fra Ernest Hemingway til Stefan Zweig, Imre Kertész og Kemal Atatürk - på en virkelig togtur fra London til Samarkand. Rejsen fører læseren fra det velkendte Europa til det ufremkommelige Centralasien. Undervejs fortæller Færøvik, inspireret af de historiske landskaber, han kan se fra sit togvindue, om store slag og kulturmødet. Og når han slentrer gennem byer som Paris, München, Budapest og Istanbul, blander fortidens bygninger og begivenheder sig med nutidens lugte og lyde. Orientekspressen er en original og velfortalt rejseskildring, der genopliver togturen som langsom og bæredygtig rejseform med tid og plads til at lade sansninger, historiens vingesus og eksistentielle refleksioner rodfæste sig undervejs. Om forfatterenTorbjørn Færøvik, født 1948, er prisvindende norsk forfatter og journalist. Han var i næsten tre årtier journalist ved Arbeiderbladet og udenrigskorrespondent hos NRK mellem 1991 og 1999. Har udgivet flere anmelderroste rejseskildringer og er til dato den eneste norske forfatter, der har modtaget den prestigefyldte faglitterære Bragepris hele tre gange.

Det har givet plads til et fyldigt interview med Danmarks Jernbanemuseums direktør Steen Ousager om Jernbanemuseets fremtidsperspektiver.Museets værkstedsansvarlige Jørgen Lindevall beskriver kort byggeriet af Danmarks ældste damplokomotiv eller rettere en replika af Odin.I december 2017 lykkedes det endelig for Aarhus Letbane at få godkendelsen i hus til at køre med passagerer mellem Aarhus H og Skejby. I 2018 blev letbanen udvidet til Odder og Lisbjerg. Der blev indgået aftaler om at overdrage trafikken Roskilde–Køge og Skjern–Holstebro til henholdsvis Region Sjælland og Region Midtjylland. DSB bestilte 26 nye ellokomotiver som erstatning for de aldrende el- og diesellokomotiver. DSB indførte forsøgsvis et nyt design til både S-tog og fjerntog. Kultur på Skinner – en tidsrejse med tog og sporvogn, var et samarbejde mellem tolv veteranbaner, Danmarks Jernbanemuseum og Sporvejshistorisk Selskab for at markere Det europæiske år for kulturarv.

    2022 blev et meget begivenhedsrigt år. Fra det tidlige forår var det slut med det obligatoriske mundbind i kollektiv trafik. Ruslands invasion i Ukraine medførte voldsomt stigende energipriser. For de mere jernbaneinteresserede forsvandt DSBs sidste store diesellokomotiver, litra ME, som trækkraft for de sjællandske regionaltog, den opgave overtog de nye elektriske EB-lokomotiver. ARRIVA fik nyt design, mens Midtjyske Jernbaner løftede sløret for de kommende batteritog i det vestjyske. Odense blev igen en sporvognsby på godt og ondt, mens der stadig bygges på den kommende letbane langs Ring 3 i Storkøbenhavn. Og så har der igen igen været mange sporarbejder.
