About

The Rail Agenda delivers independent intelligence on European rail transport.

We cover the policy reforms, infrastructure projects, funding decisions, and market shifts shaping Europe’s rail system — verified, contextualised, and focused on what actually matters.

Why it matters
Rail is no longer just transport. It is climate policy, regional cohesion, industrial capacity, and how millions of Europeans move every day. We connect the dots across borders, technologies, and institutions — so you don’t have to.

What you get
Twice a week — Tuesday and Friday — our free newsletter delivers the 25% of rail news that matters most. Every story is verified and placed in its wider system context.

No PR. No noise. No agenda. Just clear reporting on how Europe’s rail system is really moving.

Who it’s for
Policy planners, operators, infrastructure managers, industry suppliers, consultants, rail users — and anyone tracking Europe’s rail transformation.

Editorial position
We are not on the side of companies or politics. We are on the side of the rail system as a whole — its function, its coherence, and its long-term public value.
