A recent EU White Paper emphasised the improvement of rail and water-based freight routes linking main ports (CEC, 2011a). Also the EU’s commitment to developing High-speed train (HST) corridors has been confirmed by a key policy instrument, the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) ...
The appraisal methodology of a new intermodal corridor in Europe is noteworthy. The current status of Intermodal/Combined Transport in Europe, the alternative loading units (containers, swap bodies and semitrailers suitable for intermodal transport) as well as the operational requirements for a newcomer...
In 2005 and 2008, two successive memorandums of understanding were signed by the European Commission and the railway stakeholders to further deploy ERTMS on the Europe’s rail network. Six ‘priority’ corridors were identified for the deployment with the joint financial support from the EU and it...
Urban rail in major cities (say half a million or more) also means corridors with the heaviest traffic (say upwards from 100,000 trips a day). You need something even more high-capacity than a normal rapid transit. Two possibilities remained for that: running trains more frequently, and pro...
was approved by the European Parliament in 2016 – created a single European railway area to make railways more competitive vis-a-vis other modes of transport. Measures in the Fourth Railway package include theTrans-European Transport (TEN-T) policy, which set out nine rail corridors across ...

The $8 billion Obama gave to 13 projects last month is welcome good news, but won't cover the bulk of the cost of the just two high-speed projects included. So, anyone moaning that in high-speed rail it's the USA that's a developing country? Well, the USA has a well-developed (...
Developing Trans-European Railway Corridors: Lessons from the Rhine-Alpine Corridor This paper discusses key issues in the railway corridor development in the context of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). While recent European policies support an increase in the capacity of freight and hig...
A basic tool for meeting this target is the `green corridors,' a European concept denoting a concentration of freight traffic between major hubs and by relatively long distances. Green corridors aim at improving the competitiveness of rail and waterborne transport which, in turn, would enable ...
The European Union (EU) aims to address this future freight task through modes other than trucks to increase productivity gains, such as rail and inland shipping. It is therefore reviewing Trans- European Transport (TEN-T) policy. Through previous revisions, the policy has coped with growi...
