An interesting comparative table of state investment per-capita  in rail infrastructure has been produced on the basis of an analysis across 14 European counties (* list below) by the German Pro-Rail Alliance and SCI Transport Consultants. The figures in the table are quoted in Euros/per person and relate to 2025.

The UK and Germany were similar in their per-capita investment, Switzerland invested over twice as much per-person than either of the latter, but in 2025 Luxemburg invested almost three times as much in its rail infrastructure.

The Pro-Rail Alliance in German brings together 24 non-profit organisations and more than 150 railway sector companies and aims "at the promotion and improvement of rail traffic in Germany. The main objective of increased rail traffic also promotes climate protection" Read more here (in English)
