Since 1990, passenger transport has shifted from rail to road especially in former socialist countries. This endangers the viability of existing secondary railways, thus putting in question the accessibility of medium-sized cities

This work package focusses on the complex revitalisation of secondary city-hinterland railway lines in order to enhance the accessibility of medium-sized cities.

The objectives will be achieved by activities like:  

• International workshops, field trips, seminars,
• 2-5 pilot projects, analysis of obstacles and success factors, regional round tables,
• Concepts and recommendations for railway revitalisation.

• 11/07: report of WP3 results - presented at the Final Conference in Schwerin
• 04/07: workshop at the international conference in Gdynia (PL) (minutes)
• 01/07: Revitalization of secondary railway lines in Polish gminas continues
• 11/06: meeting in Gdansk
• 02/06: Meeting of the three polish voivodships, fieldtrip to potential regions
• 01/06: kick-off seminar in Greifswald (DE), field-trip to Usedomer Bäderbahn
