As the festive season reaches its peak and the year 2025 draws to a close, RAILPOL wishes to extend its warmest holiday greetings to all.

The end of the year is a time of connection. Millions of people board trains to reunite with family, visit holiday markets, or explore the snowy landscapes of Europe. For RAILPOL, this season is a reminder of why our mission is so vital: ensuring that every journey is a safe one.

Behind the scenes of every safe arrival is the tireless work of our member organisations. To the men and women of the railway police forces across Europe: thank you. Your devotion, professionalism, and round-the-clock involvement throughout 2025 have been exemplary. Your commitment is what makes a "Europe without borders" a safer reality for everyone.

Safety is a collaborative effort. As we look toward the New Year, RAILPOL remains committed to strengthening international cooperation, sharing expertise, and innovating to meet the security challenges of tomorrow’s rail travel.

On behalf of the entire RAILPOL presidency and all our member states, we wish you a peaceful holiday season and a healthy, prosperous, and safe New Year 2026.
