OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT COMPANIES 50 Keolis 50 Transdev 50 Veolia Transport 50 Mack Brooks Exhibitions Limited © 2010 3 INTRODUCTION The rail market in France is characterised by continuing expansion of its already extensive high-speed network – supported by a strong commitment from government, increasingly attractive regional services, but many challenges in the freight sector. However, in the last-mentioned, the government has pledged major investments to drive a modal shift to rail as part of its environmental policies. Rail is also providing an environmentally sound solution to rising mobility demands in France’s cities and larger towns, with nearly 30 communities operating, building or planning light rail or metro systems. The size and diversity of the rail market in France provide great opportunities for suppliers, and while there is a strong and creative domestic industry offering the most advanced technologies, excellent prospects exist for foreign companies. This report provides a concise overview of the structure of France’s national rail system, including the government, funding and regulatory environment, plus key details of the main infrastructure projects that will enhance both high-speed and conventional networks. In addition, it outlines the main businesses within the country’s national operator, SNCF. Also listed are the regional councils that are responsible for specifying levels of service within the areas they represent. In the freight sector, the report lists the principal operators that are now competing with SNCF to play a growing role in the provision of rail transport services. France’s continuing boom in the development of urban rail systems is reflected in a city- by-city of all current networks and projects. Website addresses are provided to enable users of the report to access additional information on the organisations listed. October 2010 Mack Brooks Exhibitions Limited © 2010 4 1. GOVERNMENT The government transport portfolio falls within the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, Energy and the Sea (Ministère de l'Ecologie, de l'Energie du Développement Durable et de la Mer). Website: www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr Political funding environment The French government is committed to a sustainable transport policy, including the shift of freight traffic to rail and inland waterways. The means to achieve this are principally major investment in transport infrastructure. Following a summit meeting on the environment after gaining power, the current Sarkozy government pledged a series of measures on transport including the construction of 2,500 km of new high-speed rail lines by 2020. Regional councils are also investing heavily in improvements to local railways and in new rolling stock. A listing of these is provided below. Major and medium-sized cities are investing in new or expanded light rail systems (see Section 4). Grand Paris, a major plan for the greater Paris region, was unveiled in 2010. Investment in transport infrastructure will be EUR35 billion, the most important part entailing construction of a 130 km orbital driverless metro, describing two loops and including the current RATP Métro Line 14. This project is still at an early stage of design. In addition, SNCF has put forward proposals to build high-speed lines linking existing lines within greater Paris, as well as up to 12 new stations to serve the conurbation. In September 2009 the government pledged investment of EUR7 billion on the development of rail freight. The main planks of this are: • creation of a network of "rolling highways" (autoroutes ferroviaires) carrying complete lorries or trailers. • doubling combined traffic of containers and swap bodies by train by 2020. • creating local short line, low cost freight operators (opérateurs ferroviaires de proximité or OFPs) to serve rural areas. • developing high-speed freight train services between airports. • creating a dedicated freight network and eliminating bottlenecks. • improving rail freight services to ports. • improving the quality of paths for freight trains. Mack Brooks Exhibitions Limited © 2010 5 Subsidised services Most long-distance passenger services are not directly subsidised in France. International services are open to competition following EU rules. A minority of long-distance services, including most overnight trains, do not cover their costs but are maintained for reasons of "regional cohesion". In 2010 the government proposed to tax services making a surplus to cross-subsidise these services. Regional, local and suburban passenger services are heavily subsidised. This is mainly done by central government through transfers to regional governments which are free to use the money as they wish and to add extra investment from local sources. The transfer of power to the regions has led to massive investment on modernisation since 2002. Competition for the operation of local passenger services on the national network is not favoured by any political party. Open access and regulation France has generally opposed EU moves to liberalise the rail market and has been relatively slow to implement EU policies in this area. Infrastructure management is superficially under the control of national infrastructure authority RFF but this body is obliged by law to delegate most tasks to incumbent operator SNCF. Rail freight was theoretically opened up in March 2003 but the lack of a practical framework meant the first open access freight train did not run until autumn 2005. At the start of 2010 only 11 railway undertakings had safety certificates to operate in France, including incumbent SNCF and its subsidiary VFLI, and two companies which no longer existed. It was not until 2006 that the government set up an independent rail safety authority, the Etablissement Public de Sécurité Ferroviaire (EPSF): www.securite-ferroviaire.fr France opened up international passenger services to competition in late 2009 but none have yet started. In 2010 the French government was in the process of setting up an office of rail regulation.

Pourquoi des Assises du ferroviaire ? Symbole de performance industrielle, de succès commerciaux et d’innovation technologique, le système ferroviaire français est une vitrine pour notre pays. Pourtant, ce secteur est aujourd’hui confronté à des enjeux de taille : ouverture à la concurrence du transport de voyageurs sous l’impulsion des politiques européennes, stagnation voire dégradation des parts de marchés de certains services de transport, besoin de modernisation du réseau pour absorber l’augmentation du trafic et améliorer la qualité de services pour le voyageur… Face à ces défis, le secteur ferroviaire doit trouver un nouveau souffle pour continuer à créer de nouveaux emplois en France et accélérer la conquête de nouveaux marchés. Dans ce contexte, le Président de la République a annoncé le 8 septembre dernier, lors de l’inauguration de la LGV Rhin-Rhône, que Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, ministre de l'Ecologie, du Développement durable, des Transports et du Logement, et Thierry Mariani, ministre des Transports, allaient mettre en débat le modèle ferroviaire français de demain.

    The Hsr As an Innovative and Ecological Mode of Transport

    MEST Journal DOI 10.12709/mest.05.05.02.07 THE HSR AS AN INNOVATIVE AND ECOLOGICAL MODE OF TRANSPORT Antoaneta Kirova “Todor Kableshkov” University of Transport, Sofia, Bulgaria ©MESTE JEL Category: L92, O18, R41 Abstract High-speed rails (HSR) connects major cities in developed countries, as listed in the table below. Internationally HSR is developed only in Europe, aiming at the use of trans-European transport network (TEN-T) to link all high-speed lines on the continent into a proper integrated European high-speed network. In terms of the economic development, it is considered that HSR redirects development from one area to another and as far as safety is concerned, most potential rail passengers accept aviation as a safer mode of transport. Another positive outcome is the provision of a better choice of travel mode for public transport users, who already have a lot of options represented by a low-cost bus, a fast plane or a personalized car trip. The general review proves, that besides discussing pros and cons, among which the huge investments, the lack of certainty in the future use of HSR there are positive signs of development. The new trends envisage HSR for freight as well passenger traffic. Still, there is a danger that newer technologies in transportation will boost forward in the time necessary to build a high-speed route. The question who will use the high-speed lines, when air travel provides the high speed, the self- driven cars allow for independent travels and public carriers provide Internet access and comfort to work on board remains.

    2. THE HIGH SPEED RAIWAY LINE TURIN-LYON 2.1. Main data and a bit of clarification concerning the tunnels. • Despite the name, the Turin-Lyon doesn’t pass to Turin town. Exiting from Gravio Musine tunnel, it takes the direction of Settimo Torinese where it connects with the ordinary and high-speed lines, Turin–Milan. • The Turin-Lyon TAV length ranges between 254 and 265 depending of the France side option, about 20 to 30 shorter than the historical line which is 287 Km long (RFI data) and passing through the Frejus railway tunnel. The TAV fleeting train connection Turin to Lyon is only 247 Km long, as the historical line is used till Bruzolo, then the new line until Lyon. • The well advertised 53 Km long tunnel, known as well as basic tunnel, is not the only one. There are other 4 tunnels in Italy for a total amount of other 41 Km. All tunnels are double tube, meaning that there is one gallery for each direction. In addition there are other 50Km of tunnel for priority-passing rails, inspections, access window and service tunnels, descents, ventilations, refuges for people, and so on. • The Turin-Lyon is composed by three segments, Italian and assigned to RFI as general contractor, International and assigned to LTF (Lyon Turin Ferroviaire) and a French segment, not yet assigned. The Italian segment is (see red track in Fig. 2.1-1) is 43 km long. Starts from San Didero, includes the tunnel Gravio-Musine tunnel (21.3 Km) and the northern Turin surrounding part, also called Gronda Nord of Turin, which is implemented as series of artificial tunnels, embankment, trench, viaducts, until Settimo.
