Your gain Railway companies

Corridor C offers attractive benefits to railway companies:

• Thanks to technical interoperability and the common safety system, the actual borders between countries will disappear

• As a result of the realisation of serried transport corridors with ERTMS, railway companies seeking to become active across borders will have a much stronger position

• Cost benefits: after implementation of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), enterprises using the same rolling stock will have access to the entire corridor

• More and optimally employed capacity as a result of interoperability, higher speeds and harmonised allocation of train paths. Increased capacity means more trains, hence more advantages

• Greater flexibility as a result of standardised signalling

• Attractive new modalities are being developed, such as tracks for 750 m trains
