DSB takes over GoCollective's train services in Jutland and on Funen

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.
