By GlobalDataCovering more than 870km, the Rail Baltica railway line will help link Baltic states with the rest of the North Sea-Baltic core network corridor. Trains on this line are expected to travel at a speed of up to 249km/h.
RB Rail Lithuanian branch head Irmantas Butkauskas said: “Kaunas Urban will have an essential role in the Rail Baltica railway line. It is one of the most important transport hubs, both in Lithuania and the whole Baltic region, as this is where routes between Northern, Western and Central Europe will meet.
“It is therefore important that the infrastructure solutions guarantee basis for smooth connectivity and efficient use of the Rail Baltica corridor.”
