There's also likely to be a big shakeup of travel ticketing (will CIV

Yes, because [AIUI] CIV emerges from the Convention Concerning
International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) which is managed by the
Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail
(OTIF). OTIF lives in Switzerland and is an inter-governmental thing,
not an EU thing - although the EU is now a signatory to COTIF in its own
right, as well as the EU member states (except Malta and Cyprus) which
already were COTIF signatories.

A while ago there was a bit of a turf war between the EU and OTIF. In
the end it was recognised that it would be a bad idea to allow the EU to
disrupt the smooth workings of a much wider railway industry system
which already exists, and OTIF countries like Pakistan and Iran aren't
going to want to be subject to EU rules.
