Rear end signals of Connecting Europe Express
”It’s a no-brainer!” – that was the reaction of Pat Cox, European Coordinator for the TEN-T Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor, when commenting on the value of rapid expansion of main lines for high speed trains in Sweden. This was only one of many valuable comments from the EU decision-makers who traveled with us through Sweden on the Connecting Europe Express train in the beginning of October. Kristian Schmidt, Head of Land Transport at DG Move, highlighted in particular the fact that Swedish operators compete in a deregulated market, however, at the same time have the ability to work together for the greater good of the industry.
