FIRST INTER HIGH-SPEED RAIL COMPETITION TO START

Sara Bennett

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Competition between German Rail (DB) and Thalys, the European passenger services operator, is expected when the Leuven-Liege section of the Paris-Brussels-Frankfurt high speed railway opens in December 2000. The implications of the competition for the level of service provided and requirements for additional trains for Thalys are discussed. They plan to give passengers added value by offering better and extended services. Interoperability, harmonisation of railway facilities and compatible management of track and infrastructure across Europe are considered important if competition is to be practicable.
