  • The Unrelenting Spread of Coronavirus Has Had an Unprecedented Effect on Public Transport Networks Around the World. National Go
    NEWSLINES The unrelenting spread of coronavirus has had an unprecedented effect on public transport networks around the world. National governments are implementing measures to contain the spread of the virus which increasingly include the closure of international borders. As a result, the number of international rail services around Europe, both long-distance and local, is diminishing fast. Domestic services are also being affected in most countries as all but essential travel is being discouraged or even prohibited, meaning a reduced service level is in operation as travellers heed official advice. To illustrate the dramatic reduction in international services over the past few weeks, we have included (below this statement) a brief summary of the current situation. We at European Rail Timetable clearly urge our readers to observe official government advice with regards to travel during these difficult times. We plan to continue publishing the timetable on a monthly basis, but only showing regular schedules, so readers can continue to plan future journeys once this pandemic is under control, however long that takes. We have made the decision not to include details of any amended schedules because the situation is so fluid with individual countries being at different stages of dealing with the pandemic. More importantly, many governments have imposed severe travel restrictions as part of their strategy to contain the virus, so it would be inappropriate for us to show amended timetables. We sincerely hope our readers stay safe during this difficult time and can resume their travels around Europe (and beyond) at some point in the not too distant future.

  • An Ex Ante Analysis of the Planned Transportation Network in the Region of Extremadura (Spain) by Using Physical Parameters
    sustainability Article An Ex Ante Analysis of the Planned Transportation Network in the Region of Extremadura (Spain) by Using Physical Parameters Pedro Plasencia-Lozano Department of Construction and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Oviedo, 33600 Mieres, Spain; [email protected] Abstract: Some relevant transport infrastructures are expected to be built in Extremadura, a Spanish region. Future investments could transform the regional transportation system and therefore could act as an important lever for economic and social change. The text describes the current situation and also the planned infrastructures, and an ex ante study is developed. The research has set the deficiencies of Extremadura in terms of transportation network, but current planning proves that the rail and airport infrastructures in Extremadura are set to involve a significant change of model. Moreover, the importance of taking into consideration the transport planning documents of neighboring countries in the transport analysis of bordering regions and the negative consequence of designing national and regional transport plans without considering the neighboring plans have been described.
