British rail bosses met with a Polish-Romanian delegation last week during a UK trade mission to London.
Representatives from Network Rail, the Office of Rail Regulation and the Railway Industry Association discussed how Britain’s rail sector could support the countries, which represent two of the largest markets in Central and Eastern Europe.
The British Ambassador to Warsaw, Robin Barnett, led the trade mission which included the Polish Transport Undersecretary of State, Andrzej Massel, and the Romanian Minister for Transport, Ovidiu Silaghi.
Ambassador Robin Barnett said: “In Poland and Romania alone, there is a pot of 10 billion euro worth of EU funds that are waiting to be spent on infrastructure projects, railway included. So there is a huge business opportunity right next door.”
