RailExNet is a network of experienced rail specialists from many European countries. Its members provide advice and studies on rail policy, strategy and organisation to European institutions, governments, sector organisations and railway sector companies.

It is uniquely positioned to offer informed impartial advice because all of its members are:

- experienced railway senior managers and engineers, with practical, not academic, understanding of how railways operate
- independent of any railway company with no pressure to make recommendations that serve any national or commercial interest.

RailExNet has one member from each country who is the primary point of contact. Each member has a personal network of other experts on whom to call for specific tasks. RailExNet thus opens the door for its clients to a vast pool of practical expertise that is independent of the incumbent rail sector.

RailExNet's members and their personal networks are able to address:

- economic and commercial implications of policy
- impact of EU-policy to national and regional traffic policy
- safety and security
- Quality/Quality Management Systems for Railway systems
- Railway systems and intermodal transport technology
- Railway operations and railway traffic planning

RailExNet offersa flexible service. It tailors its offering to suit its clients, being able to offer experts from one or many countries, in small or large teams, for short or long assignments. RailExNet provides a robust basis for policymaking and business, using sound evidence and hard-won experience of what works in railways.
