For the first time in 22 years, new trains have been introduced to the Lisbon Metro, and they carry a significant distinction. According to Miguel Pinto Luz, the design of these new trains reflects decades of accumulated knowledge within the Lisbon Metro. Metro drivers played a key role in shaping the design of the cabins, while the entire Metro team contributed to improving the triple-unit trains. This collaborative effort stands as a point of pride for all involved.

This is an interesting analysis of the Sydney’s Metro railways highlights the significant financial burden and questions the effectiveness of these projects in reducing congestion. It critically takes in account the change in commuting patterns post-COVID, and questions if such investments are truly beneficial or if more integrated, cost-effective solutions with existing rail systems could better serve our urban environments. While COVID has changed the ways of life permanently in some ways, some temporary shifts can be challenging making a decision for long term public amenities. It’s quite important to understand and evaluate these derivatives. The second article somewhat criticises the rail line in England in similar fashion. https://lnkd.in/gg9zB9VX https://lnkd.in/gtSHN7BF

The UITP has just published a report that is the starting point for the eBRT2030 project, the first concrete step towards defining a new, forward-looking European BRT concept. Those involved in sustainable mobility and urban planning in North America would do well to take notice. While the electrification of public transport networks is a necessity, increasing and improving the service offer is the crux of the matter for boosting modal shift. In the face of a disproportionate enthusiasm for rail solutions, let's not forget the importance of resilient public transport systems. Recent experience in several cities reminds us of the weak point of rail systems: they present several single points of failure that can immobilize an entire line, or even an entire network. We should be looking at how we can use technology to make our public transport networks more attractive, more reliable and more widely deployable. For us, the future of BRT will inevitably be an evolution towards the Roadtram Rapid Transit (RRT) concept, at the convergence of electric buses and light rail. Considering our collective know-how and Canadian innovations, shouldn’t Canada be the North American leader in this field and, like Europe, draw up a national strategy for the development of a forward-looking BRT/RRT concept? We call on the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA), the CUTRIC-CRITUC Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium and the UITP North America to join forces with stakeholders to forge such a strategy.

The five-month closure of the Riedbahn, announced by Deutsche Bahn, is a crucial step in their significant renovation project. This long-term closure reflects the extensive work required to modernize the rail infrastructure, which is essential for ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency. While this will inevitably cause disruptions for passengers and freight operations, the long-term benefits of a modernized rail network will be substantial. Commuters and logistics companies will need to prepare for alternative routes and potential delays during this period. #DeutscheBahn #RiedbahnClosure #RailRenovation #GermanyTravel #DBUpdate @DB_Bahn @BahnDE

Recent research indicates that investments in #rail #infrastructure across various regions are a substantial factor in driving this market forward. With governments around the world channeling funds into #railway upgrades and modernization projects, the emphasis on passenger comfort is more pronounced than ever.

#France’s infrastructure manager SNCF Réseau recently presented a three-year study for the access route to the future #Turin-#Lyon tunnel. Costing a total of 170 million euros, the scenario that will be explored, named ‘#GrandGabarit’, is expected to give higher priority to rail freight traffic. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews
