New standards for facilitating rail passenger transport

New European standards, which play a key role in improving the quality of rail transport, ensuring that train travel is safe, accessible and easy to use for all passengers, including people with disabilities, the elderly and families with children.

These standards cover essential elements such as: 

• clear and unified signage at stations
• adequate lighting for orientation and safety
• understandable information for passengers
• platforms and vehicles with barrier-free boarding
• stations designed without barriers and without physical obstacles
