LIBERALIZATION OF RAILWAYS IN EUROPE –
POLITICAL ASPECT
Recast
4th Railway Package
TEN-T Corridors
Single European Rail Market
PRACTICAL RESULTS ON THE MAIN MARKET
Liberalization compared to air transport has not been reached
Single wagons which were the break bone of the FF activity are dead
Concentration of market into up to 3 RU’s in Europe
Cherry-picking aspect of the new private operators
PERSPECTIVES
Only hope to reverse negative trend:
- Further deregulation (open access)
- New business models – XRail
- New industrial and commercial organization (wagon groups, block trains)
PERSPECTIVES
- Corridors thinking and establishment of rail hubs
- Co-modal and tri-modal solution
- Intermodal services
- Mixed trains
- Political support for the considerable investment
STANDART REQUIREMENTS FOR RAILHUBS
Good location on rail corridors.
Regular service by the partner railway.
Ensuring the bundling and release of complete trains.
Minimum 150 meters of track directly at warehouses until 750 meters maximum longitude of train.
STANDART REQUIREMENTS FOR RAILHUBS
Warehouses of at least 5000m2
Covered ramp for direct transshipment wagon / truck (cross-docking).
Handling / storage of intermodal equipment.
Priority on cross-docking operating hubs than on heavy logistics hubs.
