What types of trains will be able to travel through the Mont Cenis base tunnel? At what speed and with what tonnage? What signalling system will the new infrastructure be equipped with?
The preliminary version of the Network Statement published today by TELT to mark its 10th anniversary, provides the first answers to these questions and presents the functional characteristics of the future cross-border section of the Lyon-Turin railway line. This document follows the editorial structure recommended by RailNetEurope (RNE), the European Association of Infrastructure Managers and Capacity Allocation Bodies, and complies with EU Directive 2012/34.
Once construction is complete, in accordance with international agreements, TELT will be the entity responsible for allocating train paths for both freight and passenger services—including high-speed and conventional trains—on this section between Susa and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne.
