Travelling across Europe should be easy, fast, and affordable. That’s why the Commission has adopted a set of new proposals to accelerate the roll-out of Europe’s high-speed rail network.
The new high-speed rail action plan aims to cut journey times and make rail a more attractive alternative to short-haul flights or long car journeys. With trains reaching speeds of 200 km/h and above, travel time between EU capitals will drop significantly.
