Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss the judgment of the CJEU of 10 July 2019 in case C-210/18 WESTbahn Management GmbH. In this judgment, the Court stated that the passenger platforms referred to in Annex I to Directive 2012/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a single European railway area (recast) are part of the railway infrastructure, and therefore their use is included in the minimum access package. The classification of a platform infrastructure as part of the railway infrastructure or service infrastructure facility is important in the context of the principles of charging rail carriers for their access and their amount, as well as the obligation to ensure fair access to railway infrastructure.
