The EU Parliament’s plenary session on 5 May adopted a resolution for more sanctions on Russia and extra support for the transport sector. Rail was not explicitly mentioned, despite the parliament acknowledging that “the conflict is having a dramatic impact on rail freight flows between Asia and Europe, creating uncertainty for businesses operating trains”. However, the MEPs mentioned that “EU transport operators with links to the Russian market should be supported, as they reorient their operations away from Russia”.

(With ware owners shift to “On Demand”, simply now On Time supplies is high quality. Just a minority can afford the luxury, of not caring about eta.) Quality pays and now more, than ever before!
Hgh capacity, by high utilisation (minimal disturbing etc.) and with low costs, by high load, then as well trac charges, sustainably can be reduced, etc.
