Rail group at odds with Brussels over payouts

The leading organisation of European rail operators is at odds with the European Commission over possible legislation on compensation for passengers and freight customers affected by late-running trains. The Community of European Railways (CER) - an organisation of 30 rail operators from across Europe - has argued against legislation, saying it would be too inflexible and unlikely to create real improvements in quality.
