In the rail transport sector, labour costs are the clearest distinguishing characteristic concerning total costs. These are reflected both where driving staff are concerned, and in the administration, which can make quite a significant share of the cost. Accordingly, the absolute costs in Sweden are approximately twice as high as in Latvia, where personnel costs represent only a marginal proportion of the total costs.
In the case of asset-heavy rail transport, the higher capital costs in Southern and Eastern Europe are reflected in the now higher position of these countries compared to 2006. For example, Bulgaria was at the very bottom of the list in 2006. The comparison between Bulgaria and Sweden shows how differently the cost structure can appear due to the shift of this single cost factor.
