🚄 ECF calls for better bicycle integration in high-speed rail (HSR) 🚲 Following the results of our #CyclistsLoveTrains report, which assessed the bicycle-friendliness of all long-distance trains (IC, EC, night trains, and HSR), high-speed rail is by far the lowest-performing category when it comes to accepting non-dismantled bicycles. In our new policy brief, we suggest ways to close this gap and highlight the challenges and opportunities along the way. But why is better bicycle–HSR integration so important? 📈 Data from several rail operators shows that demand for bike carriage on trains is steadily growing—driven by the availability of more bike spaces. 🤝 Increasing bike capacity benefits both passengers and operators, creating more customer-friendly services while attracting additional HSR travelers. 🚴‍♀️ Cycling tourists in particular show strong demand for public transport, which calls for even greater provision.

🚂 200 years of rail ! On 27 September 1825, the Stockton and Darlington Railway in the UK launched the world’s first public passenger train powered by steam, marking the birth of modern #rail transport. From steam-powered locomotion to high-speed innovation, the European railway continues to evolve and inspire. 🌍 At #EU_Rail, we are proud to carry this legacy forward. 📘Explore our Catalogue of Solutions, which brings together successful R&I outcomes, offering practical solutions and benefits for passengers, operators, infrastructure managers and/or suppliers → https://lnkd.in/dmpBDAdb 📣How do we build the future of rail in Europe? Our newly adopted High-Level Paper outlines a bold, coordinated approach to simplify and modernise the EU rail system, strengthening its global competitiveness, resilience and sustainability. It calls for a strong public-private partnership to accelerate research, innovation and the deployment of harmonised technologies, paving the way for a truly integrated Single European Railway Area (#SERA). 📘Check the High-Level Paper: https://lnkd.in/gq5GBrdF Here's to 200 years of rail: powering progress, connecting communities and building a more sustainable future! 🚄♻️

#repost @global_rail At the session “Transport’s Great Dilemma: Can We Grow While Going Green?” Laurence Broseta, CEO International at Keolis, highlighted how operators can drive decarbonisation through technology and smarter operations. She noted that traction power is the main source of emissions in transport, and Keolis is working with partners worldwide to transition to low-carbon solutions. Today, Keolis operates more than 2,000 electric buses globally, with clients increasingly adopting electric and hydrogen fleets, and even converting diesel depots into electric ones. Her insight underscores the critical role of operators in delivering both greener fleets and more sustainable infrastructure. Keolis Group

Modernizing fare collection is a key step in continuing to provide safe, reliable rail service – and soon, passengers will see this progress with the installation of fare gates in South Station.    Keolis is proud to deliver this important project for the MBTA, building on the successful installation of fare gates at North Station in 2022. Construction will begin this week, with the goal of having South Station fare gates operational this winter.   Once in service, passengers will scan their tickets or passes at the fare gates to enter or exit the South Station concourse, a process that reflects global best practices. Since 2014, Keolis has worked closely with the MBTA to modernize fare collection on Commuter Rail, and the South Station fare gates installation marks a significant milestone in that journey.

Every summer event successfully connected is a win for sustainable mobility. 🌞🚌       This summer, Marinéo, operated by Compagnie de Transport du Boulonnais, an RATP Dev subsidiary, is transforming how passengers experience the Boulogne-sur-Mer region with targeted services that put convenience first.      The network has built an ambitious seasonal program around connecting people to major events, cultural festivals and local attractions. 🎪⛵      The strategy goes beyond basic transport:   🚴‍ Major Events – Dedicated shuttles for Tour de France arrivals, Festival de la Côte d'Opale and Festival Street Art.   🏖️ Beach Access – Direct routes to popular coastal destinations with extended summer schedules.   🗺️ Tourist Circuits – Curated sightseeing routes on our bus network, designed to connect visitors to regional attractions.   🐠 Nausicaá Shuttles – Free service to Nausicaa Centre National de la Mer every 20 minutes.   ⛵ Sailing Support – Special services for La Course des Caps - Boulogne sur Mer - Banque Populaire du Nord sailing competition.   📱 Real-Time Updates – The Marinéo app provides live schedule information for better trip planning.      Ridership and satisfaction scores demonstrate how networks that adapt to local rhythms become economic drivers, helping festivals succeed and keeping attractions accessible. When public transport aligns with community life, it enables participation rather than just movement. 🚴‍♂️🚌      👏 Congratulations to our Marinéo teams and the Communauté d'agglomération du Boulonnais for designing a summer where transport is not just a service but a local asset.      #SustainableMobility #PassengerExperience #TourDeFrance2025 #PublicTransport
