The methodologies for conducting of the previous transport market studies (TMSs) of individual Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs) varied considerably, thus making the contents of these studies often incomparable. Moreover, due to the different point in time at which individual RFCs went into operation, the timeline and periodicity of updating the TMSs varied among individual RFCs. In 2022, these aspects have been addressed by means of a dedicated project involving the representatives of all RFCs, resulting in a feasibility study for conducting a European TMS (focusing mainly on freight transport) and a draft of dedicated RNE guidelines for updating RFCs’ TMSs. Consequently, RNE was also requested by the European Commission (via the call for technical assistance to RNE in 2023-24) to extend the first feasibility study for conducting a European TMS of 2022 in order to put an equal focus also on the passenger transport in 2023 and to set up a detailed implementation plan in 2024. These deliverables are to be provided in a broader perspective of conducting a complex European TMS in 2025 (and beyond). On top of the above, in late 2022, the RFC Network requested RNE to support the RFCs in 202
