Monika Heiming: the Year of Rail should be more than just marketing

“It is a great idea to declare 2021 European Year of Rail, the timing could not have been better”, says Monika Heiming, director of the European association for rail infrastructure managers EIM Rail. According to Heiming the corona crisis showed that rail is indispensable, but also that work is needed to make it more resilient to future crises. “Let’s make sure that its more than just a floppy marketing campaign, it should also include appropriate investments in rail infrastructure.”
