Many guests joined us for the reception. They included representatives from almost the whole value chain of the passenger rail sector (CER, ECTAA, EPF, AERRL, etc.). Representatives from EU and national institutions were there as well. The reception was an opportunity for our members and other stakeholders to meet each other and to discuss the latest developments in the passenger rail policy area.

ALLRAIL would like to thank very much our guests who came from all over Europe to make this event a success.

We are also looking forward to hosting at the next ALLRAIL event those who could unfortunately not join us.
