Some interesting points: "Removing cross-border bottlenecks through binding timelines to be set by 2027 and the identification of options for higher speeds, including well-above 250 km/h when economically viable."

"A 2026 proposal will aim to improve cross-border rail ticketing and booking systems, making it easier for passengers to plan and purchase seamless cross-border journeys, with better access to passenger rights protection when using multiple operators."

"Removing entry barriers for new high-speed operators. Better coordination of track capacity, fair track access charges, and non-discriminatory access to service facilities will make it easier for new companies to offer high-speed rail services, boosting competition and making high-speed rail more affordable."
