"The European Commission today announced it will support 10 pilot projects to
establish new rail services or improve existing ones. Together, they will
improve cross-border rail connections across the EU, making them faster, more
frequent and more affordable.
European Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean said: "While demand for
green mobility is growing, we need the rail market to respond much better
and much faster, especially for long and cross-border journeys. This is why
the European Commission now wants to help rail companies create new
international train connections – by day and by night – by breaking down the
many barriers to cross-border rail. I'm looking forward to working with the
rail sector to make these 10 pilots a success and to inspire many more to
join!"
After careful evaluation, the Commission has selected the following proposals
for cross-border pilot services, in order of planned starting date:
* Hungarian Ministry of Transport, new services connecting Hungary, Austria and
western Romania;
* Connection Germany - Denmark – Sweden, with participation of SJ (new night
train service Stockholm – Copenhagen – Berlin and day train Hamburg –
Gothenburg (and potentially Oslo, in co-operation with DSB and DB), Snälltaget
(enhanced night train service Stockholm – Copenhagen – Berlin), České dráhy
(new service Prague – Berlin –Copenhagen, in co-operation with DB and DSB) and
Flixtrain (new service Leipzig – Berlin – Copenhagen– Stockholm)
* Midnight Trains, new night train service Paris – Milan – Venice;
* Flixtrain, new service Munich – Zurich;
* WESTbahn, new service Munich – Vienna – Budapest, extension of existing
