Legislation framing liberalisation of Turkey's railways has been published in the Government's official journal. This paves the way for state railway TCDD to be restructured as the infrastructure manager while a new operator will retain and use the TCDD brand.

The legislation also provides for private investors to build and operate new infrastructure under concessions of up to 49 years. - NH
