EurozineEuropean railways, once the backbone of transit, face mounting challenges: cross-border ticketing difficulties, maintenance issues, and the need to scale up amid a worsening climate crisis. What are the obstacles and opportunities for transforming this vital infrastructure to meet future demands?
