NEW EMUs FOR TUNISIA
Posted on 05 February 2010
From October 2010, new electric trains will gradually phase out diesel traction between the main railway station in Tunis’ Place Barcelone and Hammam El Chatt, south of the city. Sets with a capacity of 2,500 are to be introduced by Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Tunisiens (SNCFT – the Tunisian National Railways). They will be capable of 120km/h. Trains are to run at a four-minute frequency in peak hours, covering the journey in about two-thirds of the present time. Many road bridges have been built to eliminate level crossings.
