Current objectives are to increase rail's share of freight tonne/km from 25 to 30 percent and achieve a 4.5 percent annual rise in passenger traffic. Railway Gazette's Editor Richard Hope asked Director-General Antonio Carbonell to explain how this is to be achieved while meeting government pressure to carry freight and inter-city passengers on a commercial basis.
