DavidB-AU Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 THE newly-formed steering committee for improving rail links between Paris and the Normandy region of northern France held its first meeting on January 29. Following public consultation and a review by the Mobility 21 Commission, the French government announced last November that it plans to develop three new sections of railway which it says will increase capacity and cut journey times on the Paris – Rouen – Le Harve and Paris – Caen corridors. The priority will be a new line bypassing the most congested section of the existing route between Paris St Lazare and Mantes-la-Jolie, followed by a new link north from Rouen to Yvetot on the line to Le Harve. French Rail Network (RFF) says these two sections will relieve bottlenecks on the existing route and separate long-distance passenger traffic from freight, regional, and suburban trains. http://www.railjournal.com/index.php/europe/studies-to-begin-soon-on-new-paris-%E2%80%93-normandy-links.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
