Key assessment
Rail receives a larger share of total investment than its share of total demand, but this has not made rail flexible enough to meet new transport demands. The quality of railway, intermodal and combined services and operations needs to be improved. Most investment in the EU's trans-European transport network (TEN) is for motorways, although it was foreseen that 60 % would go to rail, mainly for the development of high-speed rail. There has been relatively high investment in urban rail, and more cycle tracks are being planned in some countries.
