RFC Rhine-Danube is planning to update its Transport Market Study based on the results of a joint project of all 11 RFCs by the end of 2024. The RFCs requested RNE to coordinate the joint project, and they are now searching for a consultant who is willing to prepare the necessary common basis for the updates of the 11 individual studies.

If you are interested in providing the requested service to the RFCs and RNE, please refer to the tender documentation available on the following websites:

https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:210917-2023:TEXT:EN:HTML

By using a common basis, the Transport Market Studies of the RFCs will become comparable with each other, and the joint project will result in an optimised way of using the financial and thr human resources of all participating stakeholders.

It is expected that all ministries, RUs, and terminals along the RFCs will be approached with a request for data and information by the consultant. We will communicate the planned timeframe of the input gathering when available to our stakeholders.

We would like to invite our customers and terminal partners to the next meeting of the Operations and Performance Working Group, which will be held again commonly with RFC Orient/East-Med, with the participation of IMs and interested RUs and terminals.

This TPM meeting will be held online and is scheduled for 09:00-11:00 on 12 April 2023.

If you are interested in participating, you may register by sending an email to Mrs Zita Koops-Árvai, Managing Director of the RFC via 

The next meeting of the Advisory Groups of RFC Rhine-Danube will take place on 30 March between 10am and 3:30pm in Vienna. The groups consist of the railway undertakings which are using the services of the RFC and the terminals which are located along the RFC. You can find more information about these groups here: https://rfc-rhine-danube.eu/rag-tag/

It will be a joint event together with the Advisory Groups of RFC Orient / East-Med, which is the third common event of this kind.

The survey was conducted in a harmonised manner, most importantly by using a harmonised questionnaire across all 11 RFCs, and coordinated by RailNetEurope.

We would like to thank everyone who filled it in for the valuable feedback and time.
