Description
The state-owned transport company NSB will employ around 1000 new train drivers and guards throughout 2009 according to an interview with the communications manager. The reason is a political decision to invest in railways, better tracks and new trains. A large increase of passengers is expected. To manage this increase, around 4-500 new engine drivers and 6-700 new guards will be employed.
