History

The original corridor of the Core Network to be called Warsaw–Midlands[2] (route Warsaw – Poznań – Frankfurt (Oder) – Berlin – Hannover – Osnabrück – Enschede – Utrecht – Amsterdam/Rotterdam – Felixstowe – Birmingham/Manchester – Liverpool),[3] but following the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union following the Brexit, the axis would no longer reach the British Islands, therefore it was enlarged and redesigned according to the current route from Helsinki to the Benelux.[4]
