Recital 7
(7) While the share of passenger rail in the Union land transport has only slightly increased since 2007, the share of freight has decreased. Parts of the sector are characterised by outdated practices, lack of investment in automation and capacity constraints. Many obstacles remain to achieve a true Single European Rail Area, including in respect of the need to minimise noise, foster innovation, interoperability and digitisation. Overcoming these obstacles together with cost reduction and accelerated innovation will allow rail to realise its full potential. Rail therefore needs a further boost to become more attractive to travellers and businesses alike.
