The European Commission, through commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas, is announcing an ambitious plan to expand the high-speed rail network, with the aim of creating fast connections between capitals and major cities. The aim is to make rail transport a more convenient and sustainable option compared with flying. The project will involve coordinated planning and financing of rail infrastructure, with targets to double high-speed traffic by 2030. However, cost and connectivity challenges need to be addressed to make trains more accessible and attractive to passengers.
