It’s simple really – a green, sustainable, competitive and accessible market place where modal shift and the robustness of rail over other forms of transport is recognized and championed. 

Although both passenger and freight rail transport are already experiencing significant growth rates, there is still a long way to go to achieve maximum modal shift from road and air to rail. The rail market is the market of the future and rail transport is an important factor in protecting the environment and stopping climate change. 

That is why I would like to see more investment in rail infrastructure, more railway competition throughout Europe and a clear course set for modal shift, so that rail becomes the most attractive alternative for travelers and goods.
