A performing rail system is one of the cornerstones of the zero emission mobility system, rail climate potential can be maximised if train operators improve their services and the EU and Member States support them with incentives and regulations.

Transport & Environment (T&E) has launched a ranking analyzing 27 European rail operators’ key services. Overall rail operators do not deliver satisfactory services. But differences between them show that strong improvements are possible. The sector has not managed to sort things out on its own, which is why policy change is urgently needed.
