I am sceptic that the biggest bottleneck is lack of ERTMS on Baltic corridor. I mean from Polish border to north exactly. Please consider the length and layout of the north part of the corridor. No added value to the rail business but much bigger for service providers.
I fully agree to provide the running of the long trains on the corridor. That is efficient step.
