TRAIN2EU: researching the market potential for international train travel within Europe

Royal HaskoningDHV is conducting research at the moment for Train2EU on the market potential for international train travel within Europe. Based on publicly available data from 2015, this research shows what this (growth) potential could be when borders (such as interoperability, passenger information and service bottlenecks) are erased. This page summarises the preliminary results; the final report was released on 18 August 2016 and can be found here.

The bottom line:

… there is a large potential market for train travel within Europe which can grow even further towards 2030!

This market potential can be captured

  • If barriers such as technical, information and service restrictions are removed.
  • If we as government and industry work together to achieve seamless travel for the European Rail Passenger!​
