European Rail Deregulation White Paper

Download report

In-depth look at the changes and railway innovation taking place within the rail industry and the challenges that go with them, focusing on the European and North American markets.

Findings clearly show that European railderegulation and increased competition will create many new challenges for rail liberalization in the future.

Rail companies can see increased demand from both leisure and business travelers, with business travelers turning more and more away from short-haul air travel to railways.
European rail deregulation provides opportunities for expansion – but new entrants to the market could pose challenges for established carriers.
Railway innovation and high-speed trains are increasingly recognized as an alternative to air travel, and there is significant investment in the development of high-speed networks worldwide.

Main issues and challenges

European rail deregulation will increase competition between rail companies and on routes – and new entrants to market might adopt previously unseen business models.

Rail companies need to move from a nationalistic distribution model to 'cross border' thinking and an industry-wide solution. They also have to make the customer their priority – and improve the overall future of rail technology and travel experience.
