Travelling by train in Europe should be silky smooth.From pan-European corridors to interregional connections, we have helped build greener and sustainable ways into #Europe.And we are up for more:🚊 Today, we earmarked more than €52 million to support the purchase of 37 electric #trains for 13 interregional routes in Romania.🚆 This month, we allocated €411 million to help build two sections of Spain’s Murcia-AlmerÃa high-speed railway.

@EU_Commission Portugal continues to be completely isolated from the European train network. Even the Madrid-Lisbon connection is dead. But the focus here is on building new airports.

@EU_Commission oooooof, if this isn't the wrong platform to talk about EU rail as "silky smooth"... 🙈 thoughts and prayers to your CM.

@EU_Commission pour avoir une idée de la hauteur de l'investissement : ces temps ci un groupe de presse franco français est recapitalisé à hauteur de 460 millions d'euro. Pour de l'industrie lourde ferroviaire je doute que 411 millions en Espagne et 52 millions en Roumanie ce soit vraiment significatif quant au rattrapage nécessaire du ferroviaire sur l'aérien. Mais c'est bien quand même. Une taxe européenne sur le kérosène automatiquement affectée à l'investissement ferroviaire serait mieux.

@EU_Commission That's all great and good. Meanwhile, we are still waiting for that single centralised travel booking system. How long is it going to take...?

@EU_CommissionTax flying instead of subsidising it, and those tracks might actually be able to compete.

@EU_Commission Why are there '0' projects in Denmark in Connected Europe?Sweden has 33 and Germany has 65.Denmark has severe issues with train connections to Germany, impacting train travels from Denmark/Sweden to all of Europe. There's a lack of tracks and electrification.I'm worried about Denmark's ability to write project proposals.Does anyone know an explanation why Denmark has no Connected Europe projects registered?

@EU_Commission Build more trains!There's some good infrastructure but for some companies who want to set up new services the limiting factor is the availability of trains.Also, what's the European Commission rail strategy? Individual companies eye new routes but how does it fit in a Europe-wide approach?#Trains #NightTrains #EuropeanTrains #Rail

@EU_Commission Next, do sleeper trains. More rolling stock would be nice, though a solution to the subsidy rules that prohibit countries from funding services that go through other countries even if they don’t stop there would be better.

@EU_Commission When will you start looking into: Enforcement of the passengers rights regulation? Making passenger rights claims as easy as booking the ticket to begin with? To make them enforceable for multi-ticket trips? Ticket data interoperability, e.g., why can't DB Bahn show me the prices of Thalys trips and vice versa? Force the ability to book multiple tickets in one go, preferably as a single one, like UIC used to do for paper tickets? Timetable data sharing among operators?

@EU_Commission When will we get a real trans Europe express again? Like there was when Kraftwerk made the song? How come trains are more expensive and cumbersome than airplanes for travel within Europe? There’s a lot of work still for the EU Commission!

@EU_Commission I thought it already was silky smooth?Then again, I'm from a part of America that not only lacks rail travel options, but has a governor who was elected specifically to prevent passenger rail construction.

@EU_Commission if we'd stayed in the Ezu Wales could have had funding for that reopening of the West Coast Carmarthen Bangor link. We could also double up some of the lines to improve our local services. When can Wales rejoin, please?

@EU_Commission should be, but isn’t. I won’t even touch the subject of the Romanian railway. Have you tried purchasing tickets on the polish railway? It’s a pain, it claims to be EU funded but for non polish speaking people it’s unusable. Language always jumpsBack to polish, not able to book a seat, broken links. Ended up using a service that sent me physical tickets via mail. But at least they have a working railway.

@anantagd Thank you for asking. For what concern cross-border night trains, we are supporting 10 pilot projects to establish new rail services or improve existing ones. You can find more here: https://europa.eu/!v6b776

@EU_Commission That's great and all, but we *really* need rail travel regulation to be on par with air travel. That means: - Price transparency - Centralized booking system (especially important for connecting trains) - Compensation if you miss your connection due to delays (such as free re-booking, and free hotel if you have to stay overnight) All these are standard for air travel, they should apply to train travel too

@anantagd Regarding the booking platform; we are working on a new initiative that will allow passengers to find and book all tickets more easily on digital platforms. You can read more about it here: https://europa.eu/!9pk4MM 🙂
