Rail travel demand is rising in Europe, as travellers seek to explore domestically during the pandemic and seek more environmentally friendly transport options. During this time, new startups and technologies are reimagining what European rail travel could be like, with luxury overnight sleepers, fast magnetic tracks, and new mobile apps all poised to arrive in the European rail market.
