  1. High Speed Railway – a chance for Poland and Central Europe EU Regulatory Framework Libor Lochman Deputy Executive Director, CER Warszawa, 16 November 2011

  2. The general EU regulatory framework • TODAY:No overall European regulatory framework on High Speed • But Technical Specifications for Interoperability apply Europe-wide: • Rolling Stock (RST TSI HS) • Infrastructure (INF TSI HS) • Energy (ENE TSI HS) • Control Command System (CCS TSI HS & CR) • Operations (OPE TSI HS & CR) • TOMORROW:High Speed is in the focus of attention in two politically relevant transport documents • The 2011 White Paper • The TEN-T Guidelines for 2014-2020

  4. Development of the length of high speed rail transport infrastructure (in km) in Europe

  5. Development high speed rail traffic (in pkm) in Europe

  6. Impact of High Speed on journey time… ... a few examples. rounded Reductions on routes Reductions on Routes Travel times on main routes in 2020 Paris – London Frankfurt – Brussels 1990 1990 Copenhagen 2010 2010 3:30 h 2020 -45% 2020 -60% Berlin Amsterdam Frankfurt – Paris Paris – Amsterdam 4:10 h 2:30 h London 1:55 h 3:30 h 1990 1990 Cologne 1:30 h 2010 Frankfurt 2010 Brussels 2:15 h 2020 7:00 h 2020 3:30 h -45% -50% Paris 2:10 h 4:45 h 3:50 h Vienna Madrid – Barcelona Frankfurt – Zürich 2:00 h Basel 4:00 h Lyon 1990 1990 Milan 2:45 h 2010 2010 -30% 3:40 h 3:00 h 2020 2020 -45% Milano - Roma Rome Munich – Vienna 2:30 h Madrid Barcelona 1990 1990 2:30 h 2010 2010 -30% 2020 2020 -40% Malaga

  7. Impact of High Speed on journey time between 1989 and 2009... a few examples.

  8. Impact of TEN-T Guideline proposal on high speed rail transport in Europe • New White Paper on Transport demands tripling high-speed rail infrastructure by 2030 • To achieve this, the new TEN-T proposal foresees the construction of new high-speed lines and upgrades to high-speed lines across Europe, including EU12, to be part of the core network which must be completed by 2030 • New TEN-T proposal requires high-speed lines to be equipped for speeds equal to or greater than 250 km/h

  11. CER view on the high speed railway:Let’s not allow a “Two (high)Speed Europe”! • High Speed, definitely a way to reduce Europe’s dependency on oil! • But: • High Speed should apply where there is a market for it.  This is particularly the case if High Speed substitutes to air short-medium haul and motorways • High Speed should not develop at the expense of the conventional network.  Conventional rail must be maintained, in complementarity to High Speed, and as a feeder network “Two-(high)Speed Europe” must be avoided; East/West gap shall be bridged
