Years of underinvestment and lack of political direction are being blamed for the state of the German railways, which have in recent years been beset by a massive increase in breakdowns, delays, cancellations and other major technical mishaps and led to unflattering comparisons with infrastructure in the developing world. The overhaul will start with the 70km (43-mile) stretch between Frankfurt and Mannheim, a key national and international rail route on which one in seven long-distance trains – 300 a day, carrying 15,000 passengers – run and which is also vital for freight traffic. #railway #germany #railcorridor #DeutscheBahn

Impressive figures on Austrian's rail industry were investigated by VCÖ - Mobilität mit Zukunft: 👍 7.9% of total global trade in the railway industry is ‘Made in Austria’ 💪 Austria ranks 4th in the global export of rail vehicles 👏 The Austrian railway industry creates 28,000 jobs and 2.7 billion in added value An overview of the Austrian railway industry is provided in a detailed article in the current magazine. Martin Joch and Anil W. Rai, among others, were asked about the reasons for this. #railindustry #bahnindustrie #weltmarktführer #marketleader #eisenbahn #schienengüterverkehr #bahntransport #bahn #österreich

Limburg: ‘If necessary, both NS and Arriva on Eindhoven-Heerlen-Aachen’ The Dutch province of Limburg is pushing for a potential collaboration between NS and Arriva to maintain the intercity service between Eindhoven, Heerlen, and Aachen if necessary. They are not willing to wait until 2032 for a continuous service between the three cities, as proposed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. The Provincial… https://lnkd.in/evN9dvmQ . . . . . .

A powerful rail network plays a crucial role in realizing the vision of a unified Europe. Freedom of movement between member states is one of the EU's greatest achievements, and the common rail network is an important lifeline for transnational mobility. The best example of this is the Interrail ticket, which over 600,000 people used to travel across Europe by train in 2022 alone. This would not be possible without a modern and well-developed high-speed rail network. Between 1985 and 2021, the number of high-speed rail lines in the EU27 member states increased almost twenty-fold. This refers to lines that allow speeds of more than 200 km/h. However, there is still a lot to do. Cross-border trips currently account for only 7% of the kilometers travelled by train. The EU plans to double cross-border rail traffic by 2030 and triple it by 2050. To this end, it is also supporting new international rail connections, such as from Munich to Rome and from Paris to Venice. Until the coronavirus pandemic, rail passenger traffic in the EU was growing year on year. After all, rail is one of the most sustainable, fastest and safest means of transportation we have. For this reason, expanding and modernizing the transnational rail network to further connect Europe - and its people - should remain a top priority in the future.

📌 ‘Three Nations’ Train Launched 🚄 The newly inaugurated ‘Three Nations’ train service now connects #Belgium, the #Netherlands, and #Germany. 💡 Essential Highlights - Route: The RE18 service, known as #Limax, runs between Aachen (Germany), Maastricht (Netherlands), and Liège (Belgium). - Operators: #Managed by Arriva Nederlands in collaboration with NS and NMBS. - Delays: Original launch in 2018 postponed due to necessary retrofitting with #ETCS digital signalling technology to meet Belgian regulations, and extended approval processes. - Launch: Officially began #operations on June 30 after the initial “go-live” date was impacted by heavy rainfall damaging tracks. - Service Details: Trains will run hourly on the 78km route with a journey time of 1 hour and 35 minutes, including 12 intermediate stops. The introduction of this service is a significant milestone for international cooperation and sustainable transportation in Europe.

"It's a race, the market is pushing so hard" Gwendoline Cazenave is right ! High Speed rail in Europe has never been so profitable ! At Kevin Speed we are staying away from the complications of the London-Continent market due to the new EES EU entry system. We chose instead to enter the domestic french market on three of its six most profitable lines : ilisto will serve Paris-Lille, Paris-Lyon and Paris Strasbourg. We teamed up early with Alstom for 20 new single deck high speed trainsets. We secured the first Track Access Framework Agreement on these three lines from the french government, infrastructure manager (SNCF Réseau), four regions and the independant Railway Transport Authority (Autorité de régulation des transports). "Industry executives" also say that up to 4 contenders are now wrestling to take Track Access Framework Agreements on Bordeaux-Paris and the atlantic High Speed line and LISEA, aiming to take advantage of the french market which is the largest and most profitable in Europe. Partial change of ownership at LISEA is now on the agenda, probably spurred by the increase in traffic. The capitalistic race for profitable lines have indeed started on High Speed Rail in Europe.

🚄 #Belgium might be famous for its chocolate, but did you know it also boasts one of the world’s most impressive railway networks? In this video, we dive into the development, history, and modern-day performance of Belgium’s railways, including NMBS-SNCB and Infrabel, which operate one of the densest rail networks in Europe. 🚄 Highlights: • Discover the origins of Belgium's railways, dating back to 1835, and how it became the first country in continental Europe to operate a passenger train service. • Learn about the incredible 3600 km of track connecting major cities and neighboring countries with high-speed services like the #Eurostar and #TGV, reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h. • Get insights into Belgium's commitment to electrification and its 93% ERTMS deployment, one of the highest in Europe. • Understand the crucial role of Infrabel in managing the infrastructure and SNCB in providing passenger and freight services, alongside other market players. • Explore Belgium’s strategic position as a hub for international rail traffic, with high-speed connections to France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. With 98 million train-kilometers covered in 2022, Belgium’s rail system is not only vital for daily commutes but also a key player in European connectivity.

Wishing a great weekend to everyone in my LinkedIn community! I’m back with another blog post, this time I look over Britain’s complicated relationship with high speed rail. Despite inventing the modern railway, Britain has been behind the curve when it comes to high speed rail, and High Speed 2 is indeed, Britain’s second attempt at relieving the West Coast Mainline in 50 years! Hope you enjoy reading and let me know your thoughts below ;) (PS, this blog isn’t just about cars, but mobility and transportation overall, would love to know your thoughts on this format!) https://lnkd.in/ejvrgNaJ
