This map shows accessibility potential by rail in the BSR in 2014. Accessibility potential by rail is defined as a function of the activities or opportunities to be reached at the destinations (here: population), weighted by the rail travel times needed to reach them. Darker colours represent areas with the most (blue) or least (red) potential with the ESPON average (100) taken as the middle point. Large disparities can be seen in accessibility potential by rail. Compared with central Europe, many regions of the BSR represent peripheral areas. Only regions in Germany enjoy accessibility potentials by rail above the European average. Denmark, Southern Sweden including the capital region, the capital region in Finland and Iceland, Poland, and Eastern Belarus have relatively high accessibility potentials by rail compared to other regions of the BSR.
