Better Rail Networks

Quality of Networks for All - Speed on Corridors for a Few

We need to build a bridge between railways and other modes of transport, by improving connectivity and inter-operability

We must improve the decision-making processes in transport by increasing transparency and participation of users and stakeholders 

We can improve European railways by switching funding away from mega high-speed projects toward networks which enhance services for all travellers
