Any Europeu del Ferrocarril: Connectant Europe Express ara surt de l'estació

El 'Connecting Europe Express', a special train put together as part of the Any Europeu del Ferrocarril 2021, will pull out of Lisbon train station today (2 September). It will stop in more than 100 towns and cities during its five-week journey, before arriving in Paris on 7 October. Departing from Lisbon and ending its trip in Paris, the train will make a notable stop in Ljubljana, connecting the Portuguese, Slovenian and French Presidencies of the Council of the EU.

Transport Commissioner Adina Vălean said: “Rail has shaped our rich, common history. But, rail is also Europe's future, our route to mitigating climate change and powering economic recovery from the pandemic, as we build a carbon-neutral transport sector. Over the coming weeks, the Connecting Europe Express will become a rolling conference, laboratory and forum for public debate on how to make rail the transport mode of choice for passengers and businesses alike. Please give us a warm welcome when we stop at a railway station near you.”

Along the route, various events are planned to welcome the train at railway stations across Europe. Rail enthusiasts can also follow debates happening on board as well as conferències on EU infrastructure policy and the role of the Xarxa transeuropea de transport (TEN-T), that will be livestreamed via the lloc web de l'esdeveniment from Lisbon, Bucharest, Berlin and Bettembourg. The Connecting Europe Express is the result of unique cooperation between the European Commission and the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER), European rail operators, infrastructure managers and numerous other socis at EU and local level. A press release is available online.
