    <summary>Since 1 September 2026, DSB has been operating GoCollective's former routes in central and western Jutland and the Svendborg line on Funen through its subsidiary DSB Vores Tog, based in Silkeborg, including trains and staff. The basis is an agreement on early contract termination concluded in June 2026 between the Danish transport ministry and GoCollective: GoCollective had reported that it could not pay about DKK 100 million due on 29 June 2026, which would have meant insolvency and a standstill of rail services. Net proceeds from the sale of the trains are EUR 64.14 million, part of which goes to repaying an outstanding EUR 50 million bond; GoCollective continues as a bus and harbour-bus operator. On the Thy line, Midtjyske Jernbaner is to run trains step by step from October 2026 for a limited period as DSB's subcontractor, provided the approvals are in place.

    <summary>Italian hearing care retailer Amplifon has signed a binding agreement with GN Store Nord to buy its entire hearing aid division GN Hearing (brands including ReSound and Beltone), valued at around €2.3bn on a cash- and debt-free basis. At completion GN will receive €1.69bn in cash and 56 million Amplifon shares, becoming the second-largest shareholder with about 16%; the combined group would have revenue of roughly €3.3bn in more than 100 countries. Closing is expected by the end of 2026, subject to the carve-out of GN Hearing from the GN group and regulatory approvals (Teleborsa, 16.03.2026; second source: The Hearing Review, 16.03.2026). Added on 03.10.2026. Update (29.09.2026): Amplifon has called an extraordinary and ordinary shareholders' meeting for 29.10.2026 to approve the capital increase of 56 million new shares reserved for GN Store Nord (worth about €631m), the share component of the purchase price; a GN representative is also to join the board once the deal closes (WebSim, 29.09.2026). — Sources: https://www.teleborsa.it/News/2026/03/16/ref-29.html · https://hearingreview.com/inside-hearing/industry-news/amplifon-to-acquire-gn-hearing-in-2-6-billion-deal · https://www.websim.it/azioni/blue-chip/amplifon-il-29-ottobre-l-assemblea-per-l-aumento-di-capitale/</summary>

    <summary>Ten European countries agree to accelerate the expansion of offshore wind farms in the 2030s and to build a power grid in the North Sea – a milestone in transforming the ageing oil basin into a 'clean energy reservoir'. Plan: offshore wind farms with direct connections to various countries via high-voltage submarine cables; 100 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity (enough for 143 million households). Governments pledge to jointly build 5 GW of offshore wind capacity per year from 2031-2040. Over 100 companies signed an industry declaration on cost reduction and the creation of 91,000 jobs. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: the North Sea is to become the 'largest clean energy reservoir worldwide'. The UK also plans to cooperate with Germany, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands on cross-border offshore projects with joint planning and cost sharing. Transmission system operators are to identify around 20 GW of 'economically promising' cross-border projects by 2027 (including hybrid projects such as a UK wind farm exporting electricity to other countries). — Source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/26/uk-among-10-countries-to-build-100gw-wind-power-grid-in-north-sea</summary>

    <summary>The Swiss parliament has definitively not released the requested funding for the new Basel–Copenhagen–Malmö night train; SBB is therefore abandoning the start of service planned for April 2026. According to SBB, night trains are unprofitable because of the costs of rolling stock, track access charges and staff, and viable operation is not possible without federal support; ticket sales had started in early November, and tickets already paid for are refunded. In November 2025 Pro Bahn Schweiz criticised plans to cut the CO2 Act funds for international rail and night-train services (up to CHF 30 million a year, fed by aviation emissions trading) and to scrap them entirely from 2027, and pointed to Malmö as a gateway to Scandinavia. The date is a placeholder: the day of the parliamentary decision is not given, and the day of SBB's announcement is used.

    <summary>The Danish government is topping up rail funding beyond the Infrastructure Plan 2035: EUR 150 million (DKK 1.1 billion) goes to the upgrade at the Ringsted bottleneck and the simplification of Copenhagen Central Station, and a further EUR 13 million (DKK 0.1 billion) to 200 km/h running between Ringsted and Odense, so that DSB's coming electric trains can be used to full effect. Another EUR 360 million (DKK 2.7 billion) is to complete the signalling programme, which already runs on the S-Bahn network, in central and western Jutland, north of Aarhus and on lines in Zealand and on Falster, and now moves on to the rest of the main network and the busiest lines around Copenhagen.

    <updated>2025-10-11T06:00:00Z</updated>
    <summary>In its budget draft the government proposes letting the subsidy for the SJ night train Stockholm–Berlin lapse when the four-year contract ends on 31 July 2026; this removes SEK 95 million (EUR 8.6 million) a year, and SJ is ending the service, which ran to Hamburg from 1 September 2022 and to Berlin a year later. Infrastructure minister Andreas Carlson points out that the decision to stop lies with SJ and relies on shorter journey times once the Fehmarn Belt link opens; the private operator Snälltåget plans to run more services without subsidies. Earlier the government (report of 10 October 2025) had asked Trafikverket to examine, by 31 December 2026, demand, ownership and financing of the state's night-train fleet, as sharply higher costs are feared in the ongoing vehicle tender.

Construction at Hjørring ran from June to November 2024 (station closed 26 July–6 October 2024); the economic framework for the overall project was DKK 114.5 million (2017 price level).
