Great news for Europe!

Did you know that 3 in 4 EU citizens would take a high-speed train instead of a plane when travelling across Europe for short and medium distances if they could?

Faster, further, greener and stronger with a European #HighSpeedRail network 🚝💙

Today, CER and @eurocities.eu will hold a timely event hosted by VP Antonella Sberna at the European Parliament to discuss with MEPs, the Commission, European mayors, and the rail & construction sectors how to turn the plan into a reality.

Stay tuned for the conclusions!
