""accelerate the development of high-speed rail across the EU""
""boosting fast, comfortable, safe and reliable rail services.""
""High-speed rail is not just about cutting travel times - it is about uniting Europeans, strengthening our economy, and leading the global race for sustainable transport,""
""we are turning ambition into action: breaking down barriers, mobilising investments for modern infrastructure, and making cross-border rail the backbone of a carbon-neutral, competitive, and secure Europe.""
The European Commission launched a strategy to accelerate the development of high-speed rail across the EU, aiming to boost fast, comfortable, safe and reliable rail services. The strategy aligns with the EU goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and positions cross-border rail as a sustainable alternative to air and road travel. Targeted improvements could halve journey times on routes such as Athens to Sofia (to six hours) and Copenhagen to Berlin (to four hours). The plan includes mobilising investments, removing barriers to cross-border services, and modernising infrastructure, though some projects face construction delays.
