User:Markuspedianos/Alliance of Passenger Rail New Entrants in Europe

ALLRAIL or Alliance of Passenger Rail New Entrants in Europe is an association bringing together independent passenger rail transport and online train ticket sales companies operating in Europe.

History
ALLRAIL was founded in Brussels (Belgium) in 2017. The association is part of the group of official representative bodies (Group of Representative Bodies) of the railway sector within the European Union.

Activity
As a lobbying association, ALLRAIL promotes the interests of its members to the European Union and national institutions of the Member States, Norway and Switzerland. More specifically, ALLRAIL advocates a faster and more comprehensive opening of the passenger rail market in Europe, in order to facilitate the entry into the market of private and independent railway companies. This, according to ALLRAIL, can promote a faster modal shift to passenger rail.

ALLRAIL's positions with European institutions and political decision-makers compete with those of the European Rail Community (CER), which predominantly represents incumbent and state-owned rail companies.

Location
ALLRAIL's headquarters are located in Brussels (Belgium).

Members
As of January 2024, ALLRAIL had 14 members and four associate members :
