Abstract
This Transport Note has been prepared as
an adjunct to the 2006-07 updating of the World Bank's
Railways Databases (www.worldbank.org/railways). It uses the
databases for inferences on aggregate trends (and so subject
to the caveats provided in the Explanatory Note cited) as
well as other Bank documents and sources of policy
information. It provides a high level view of traffic and
policy developments. Particular emphasis is given to the
Bank's six regions of operations at a time when the
Bank's Transport Strategy is being updated with the
intention of increasing the attention given to the role of
railways in development. For completeness, important policy
developments in the higher income countries are also summarized.
