Description

The internet is older than the private railway market.

Since the 1990s, the European railway industry has undergone large-scale privatisation and an opening up of market access, making the private railway sector a relatively young industry. Nevertheless, many practices and traditions date back to the end of the 18th century and are reminiscent of the era of steam locomotives.

Privatisation has led to completely new market dynamics on many levels. Manufacturers, service providers, lessors and authorities of rail vehicles now have to support small and lean operators alongside large bureaucratic state-owned companies.

Customers such as logistics service providers, industrial companies, construction companies, commuters or holidaymakers now actually have a choice and are developing new concepts based on these new opportunities.

From WDW-Rail's point of view, this leads to a demand for faster responses, short-term commitments and transparent pricing.
