The European Railcast, episode 4 – Connecting the Tracks, Harmonising Europe’s Rail Future

The fourth episode of European Railcast is now available.

This episode explores how EU Research and Innovation (R&I) are helping to build a more connected, efficient, and interoperable rail system across Europe. Host Jacki Davis is joined by Sverre Kjenne, Head of the ERTMS Users Group, Gemma Salazar Luque, Vice President for Strategy, Marketing and Technical Main Line Signaling at Hitachi Rail, and Ian Conlon, Head of the System Pillar and Communication and Outreach Unit at Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking (EU-Rail).

Together, they discuss the pressing need to move beyond national silos, the progress already being made through European R&I initiatives, and how the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is central to enabling seamless cross-border rail travel. The conversation offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of creating a truly integrated European rail network.

The European Railcast: A Podcast About the Future of European Mobility is brought to you by Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking, the European partnership for rail research and innovation under the EU’s Horizon Europe programme.
