Talk:Train Express Regional Dakar-AIBD

alstom business

The 1000mm with is enough to go to 140 km/h and 160 km/h with tilting,

the radious in the curve is what limits further the speed (and the 1435mm have minimum radious much bigger than the 1000mm, so it was build to allow always higher speeds). But it is palin a curve radious topic, they sold a 50% more expensive track, again.

And in Europe, the companies achieved to sell an ERMT "signaing" system, that cost as much as "the line itself!!!!", and yes, there is an almost for free solution, already tested in Europe, the Ersat (EU-Italy project), but of course, the companies will never recomend the option in which they lose half the business!

Isn't this project already completed?

Just wondering because this project is now open, I believe, yet this page treats it as if it's still a work in progress. - LukeLovesTransport (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

The commercial service hasn't begun yet. "Le directeur n’a donné aucune date pour la mise en service. Tout dépend des essais, qui n’ont pas encore démarré. Pour l’instant, le train n’a effectué qu’un seul trajet, en janvier, avec à son bord le président Macky Sall." [The director hasn't given a date for the start of operation. It all depends on the tests, which have not yet started. So far, the train has made only one trip, in January, with President Macky Sall.] Source, in French : http://www.rfi.fr/fr/afrique/20191104-senegal-nouveau-retard-mise-service-train-express-regional --Le Petit Chat (talk) 21:17, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
