8 Days to Railfest 2012! 25th May 2012




8 days to go...............




8 years ago, on 29th April 2004  the  European Railway Agency, headquartered in Lille, France, was formed.


The construction of a safe, modern integrated railway network is one of the EU’s major priorities. Railways must become more competitive and offer high-quality, end-to-end services without being restricted by national borders.

The European Railway Agency was set up to help create this integrated railway area by reinforcing safety and interoperability.

The Agency also acts as the system authority for the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) project, which has been set up to create unique signalling standards throughout Europe.
