Despite huge investments in recent decades, the main rail sector is not changing fast enough. This is mainly due to national fragmentation and non-harmonised concepts of operations. But EU-Rail should improve the situation, bringing innovations that will make the rail more responsive and competitive, and taking full advantage of the digitalisation and automation of operations.
