  • Countdown to Launch of France's First Urban Cable
    International Edition – 14 November 2016 Countdown to launch of France’s first urban cable car On Saturday 19 November, Keolis will launch France’s first urban cable car in the city of Brest in north-west Brittany. The system features the vertical crossing of cabins – a world first – and will link the left bank station, situated on a hill above the naval base, to the right bank station located inside the Ateliers des Capucins. The new Capucins eco-district, structured around former French Navy workshops, will house shops and restaurants as well as cultural and leisure facilities. The cable car is operated automatically and the system is supervised by Keolis Brest teams at the Bibus network control room. The two, 60-passenger cabins provide breath-taking views of the harbour during the three- minute crossing over the river Penfeld. This new, economical and environmentally-friendly urban transport mode will be integrated into the city’s existing public transport network, and passengers can access the tram, bus and cable car with a single Bibus transport ticket.

These notes are based upon 3 meetings on the 11th March 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece. Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study.

The research team thank GMC and its staff for their kind participation in this project. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and GMC.

  • Annual Report 2012 the Added Value of Local Skills Is Key to Local Develop- Ment
    Annual Report 2012 The added value of local skills is key to local develop- ment. The history of Swiss rack railways can be summa- rised in this one phrase, combining local skills in the railway industry, the region’s particular geography, and international success. It is precisely ideas cultivated and implemented locally that make Swiss peaks accessi- ble to tourists from every corner of the globe and spread this technology to remote countries. One common denominator is the hallmark of all the phases of this adventure, from the challenges faced by the pioneers to the first attempts at implementation, from the bold designs to the initiatives that define Switzerland’s tourism, culture, and history: the active and responsible participation of institutions, private en- terprise, and financial entities. An exemplary attitude still teaching us today that, in order to make progress, ideas must be sustained by the tenacity of those who generate them, by the consensus of institutions, and by those whose mission is economic support. This year Banca del Sempione wants to dedicate its an- nual report to the Swiss rack railway industry to cele- brate another example of Swiss success in the world and to recall men of genius, visionary entrepreneurs, and enlightened public servants who made it happen. These men understood local needs and found effective solu- tions, setting examples for the men and women at Banca del Sempione who in the same way have offered their customers solutions by listening and paying atten- tion to them for more than three generations.
