A
Study of Single Wagonload Rail Traffic: A study carried out to
assess how the wagonload network functions at present and to
identify the areas in which action would be desirable at an EU level
and how this can be taken forward. This study analyses the needs of
rail freight customers (and whether they are me); the organisation
and the operation of the of the wagonload business and the wagonload
leasing market, notably in relation to EU-competition rules. It also
considers whether there might be concerns with the current
organisation with respect to the EU-Treaty, areas of inefficiency
and potential improvements and the implications for non-Member
States. |
