Long-distance passenger traffic will increase by 21 per cent to reach over 1.36 billion by 2020, 238 million up compared to 2011 figures, according to a recent study from Amadeus.
The report - entitled The Rail Journey to 2020 - focuses on the period 2011-2020, which will see the passenger rail industry in Europe impacted by an unprecedented combination of factors: some relating to structural change, others arising from opportunities created by infrastructural investments and technology.
The report identifies that anticipated growth in passenger volume over the period 2011-2020 is driven by four key markets in particular: the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and Germany.
The report is based on authoritative data and best practice modelling techniques from a dedicated research team at Amadeus.
