This video summarizes two centuries of existence and development of European railways, specially in regards to the relation between the Governments and railway companies. It is structured in such a way as to help you understand why European railways had to be reformed and restructured in previous decades. Also it provides an insight how and why the European railway system is organized today, including the aspects such as the LIBERALIZATION of railway market, the UNBUNDLING of Infrastructure managers and Railways undertakings, the concept of Interoperability of the railway systems, the Single European Transport Market and mechanisms such as PSO Contracts and Track Access Charges. - If you enjoyed this video, SHARE it with your rail-loving friends to help us raise our community, and of course leave your opinion in the COMMENT section and hit the LIKE button. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Stay connected with us on social media: - Facebook: https://facebook.com/RailwaysExplained/ - Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/railways_ex... igshid=k0tv5loew79e&fbclid=IwAR0Ix2jPPbcUwhArt_iym9vzKgvrUQaLLH_4JkhILyzyY_upCyxTf5qxcwA - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/railways-... #Railways #Europe #Interoperability
