Plans for a Grand European Pipeline Expansion Includes Incorporation of Croatia
Get Ready for a European Revolution: The Tube for Europe Project is Coming!
On April 24, 2025, rumblings of an extraordinary plan to transform European travel have hit the headlines. Dubbed the Tube for Europe, this revolutionary rail network promises to drastically reduce travel times between major cities across the continent and beyond. Croatia is among the key players in this ambitious project.
Detailed by think-tank 21st Europe, this visionary initiative has been developed in collaboration with top European minds, as well as digital design specialists Bakken & Bæck, Culte Commune, and others. The goal is a sustainable, state-of-the-art transportation system that reflects optimism for Europe's future.
The plan sees a network connecting all European countries, including the United Kingdom and Ireland. Each European nation will have at least one dedicated railway station, with the network stretching across the continent from Portugal to Ukraine, and reaching as far east as Kiev[1].
Avoiding urban congestion, train stations within this new system will be cultural centers, positioned outside of city centers. These stations will boast cultural facilities, squares, and events, becoming popular destinations in their own right.

With a color scheme inspired by the European Union's logo, the trains on the Tube for Europe network will sport the striking shade of blue[2]. The aim is for these trains to become as recognizable as the red double-decker buses in London or the yellow taxis in New York.
The designs include different zones to cater to diverse passenger preferences, including quiet zones for work, social zones, family zones with child-friendly facilities, and cafe zones[1]. On top of passenger transport, the project also includes plans for a freight rail network to facilitate faster logistics and goods transportation.

As of now, the Tube for Europe remains in the conceptual phase. The EU's budget and national governments are potential sources for funding, but details regarding financing or a timeline for construction have yet to be announced[1]. However, with infrastructure projects like the 8-billion-euro Mont d'Ambin/Mont Cenis base tunnel between France and Italy as a point of reference, the cost of building this ambitious European metro system is expected to be substantial[1].
Initial plans see as many as five corridors for these high-speed trains, with Croatia in Corridor B, alongside countries like Portugal and Ukraine. Interestingly, a station in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a part of the Corridor B route under the Adriatic Sea have been proposed, posing significant engineering challenges[1].

Aword to the wise travelers: Brace yourselves for a European revolution! The Tube for Europe might just change the way you travel forever.
