Rail Freight Corridor North Sea – Mediterranean (RFC North Sea – Med EEIG) is one of the main railway routes and most promising rail freight corridors in Europe. It currently links main European ports (Antwerp, Rotterdam, Dunkirk, Zeebrugge and Marseille) to the industrial zones of Western Europe and to the gateways of Southern Europe, with 5500 kilometres of lines now. An extension beyond London was done for timetable 2019, and to Geneva for timetable 2020. The Corridor is also a gateway to the rest of Europe, being connected to the RFCs Rhine – Alpine, Atlantic, Mediterranean and North Sea – Baltic and building together with all corridors a European network of rail freight corridors. RFC North Sea – Med is one of the most promising rail corridors in Europe, with already more than 38 000 international trains per year. Together with the other Rail Freight Corridors, it builds a European network of nine corridors. By improving the quality of rail services, RFC North Sea - Med is encouraging the modal shift from road to rail.
