Despite the current economic downturn, Europe’s railways are predicting significant growth over the next 15 to 20 years, as environmental awareness, rising energy costs and road congestion continue to drive up demand for rail transport, both passenger and freight.
Railways across the world are making use of the ‘breathing space’ caused by the recent levelling off in demand to prepare for the future. But with funding for investment likely to be limited in the next few years, infrastructure managers are looking for greater efficiencies and smarter ways to squeeze more capacity out of their rail networks at lower cost.
Building Tomorrow’s Railway aims to look at the following topics –
- Can the railway industry cope with growing demand for transport?
- Where should we best target resources and investment?
- How do infrastructure managers optimise the use of capacity?
- Will enhancements provide the best way forward?
- Can major projects be funded in the current economic climate?
- How can you benefit?

Railway Gazette International and Rail Business Intelligence have brought together leading experts from the European rail industry to share best practice in focusing investment to enhance both capacity and quality.
