Press Release PRESS RELEASE Bombardier to overhaul 143 TWINDEXX double-deck coaches for Israel Railways • Following scheduled mid-life overhaul, teams will now modernize fleet to increase reliability • Currently, coaches are undergoing a six-year retrofit project to prepare them for network electrification Berlin, January 15, 2021 – Bombardier Transportation has begun the mid-life overhaul for Israel Railways’ (ISR) fleet of 143 BOMBARDIER TWINDEXX double-deck coaches. Valued at around $15 million US, this new project covers additional interior and exterior technical works to overhaul the coaches’ systems. Eran Cohen, Managing Director of Bombardier Transportation in Israel, said, “We thank ISR for entrusting us with yet another services and asset-life-management project. We look forward to continuing the long term and successful partnership with ISR as our strategic customer. This project provides our latest opportunity to implement the teams' extensive know-how and experience which are best suited to meet our customer’s time to market, high availability and reliability targets.” Delivered between 2002 and 2006, these first-generation BOMBARDIER TWINDEXX coaches will now have some of their internal and external doors modernized and their passenger information systems and jumper cables replaced. The project which recently started with design and engineering works, will then proceed with equipping one pilot train. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by January 2023. The overhaul will rely on Bombardier Transportation and Israel Railways’ expert teams’ combined equipment, and experiences to leverage synergies and expertise. This combined approach seeks to accelerate on-time delivery and increase quality performance. This mid-life project is the next natural step in a six-year retrofit program for the ISR’s fleet of TWINDEXX double-deck coaches. Bombardier Transportation and ISR have recently implemented the necessary technical work packages to prepare and adjust the fleet for electric operation, including implementation of magnetic track brakes to allow speeds of 160 kph, as well as implementing additional diagnostics and safety systems. In all, the project covers the following: • Overhauling and modernizing coaches’ exterior door system • Overhauling toilet system doors, making them more accessible for passengers with reduced mobility • Replacing 400-volt jumper cables • Renewing the passenger information system About Bombardier Transportation Israel Bombardier Transportation has been operating in Israel since 1997, with Bombardier Transportation Israel established in 2003.

  • Pre-Qualify for the Design-Build of Israel Railway's ETCS L2 Onboard Project
    ISRAEL RAILWAYS LTD Development Division ,Signalling & Technology Div. Pre-Qualify for the Design-Build of Israel Railway's ETCS L2 Onboard Project General Technical Description 5 January 2016 ERTMS Project Page 1 of 12 ISRAEL RAILWAYS LTD Development Division ,Signalling & Technology Div. Chapter I- Project Background Facing a continuously growing demand in passenger and freight traffic, Israel Railways has to cope with an increasing number of trains. In the core network, there is the need to raise capacity significantly. In addition, the existing ATP system is subject to safety shortcomings, which can be mitigated by means of a Full Supervision ATC approach. Both reasons have led to the intention to introduce ETCS Level 2 on the Israeli network. In this chapter, details on the current situation and the motivation are provided. The current line length of Israel’s Railway Network is about 625 km. The total track length is about 1,175 km. This number includes the tracks of both directions and some station tracks. The signalling system is based on electronic and relay interlocking, using axle counters as well as isolated track circuits as a train detection system. A variant of INDUSI I60R is applied as an automatic train detection system and the signalling scheme is close to German H/V signalling. Nowadays, Israel’s Railway Network is within a development process. There are several new lines which are already under construction: Fast Track to Jerusalem: Tzomet Daniel – Jerusalem Ha’Uma Link from Ra‘anana to Coastal Line Ako-Carmiel Line Haifa- Beit Shean Line There are also some other planned lines that will connect relevant economic areas.

  • Regionsamverkan Sydsverige Handlingsplan Kollektivtrafik
    REGIONSAMVERKAN SYDSVERIGE HANDLINGSPLAN KOLLEKTIVTRAFIK Bild: Öresundståg AB Regionsamverkan Sydsverige Handlingsplan Kollektivtrafik 2020-10-29 Upprättad av: Mattias Schiöth, Christian Månsson, Krste Cvetkovski, Ylva Bengtsson HANDLINGSPLAN KOLLEKTIVTRAFIK Handlingsplanen för kollektivtrafik i Sydsverige är sprungen ur Regionsamverkan Sydsveriges Positionspapper för kollektivtrafik. Handlingsplanen fokuserar på den gränsöverskridande persontågtrafiken och inkluderar en strategi för tågfordon i det gemensamma tågtrafiksystemet för Öresundståg. Tidigare framtagen Strategisk plan för Öresundståg är en grund för handlingsplanen. Handlingsplanen blickar mot 2040 och behandlar resandet, trafikeringen, fordonen, depåer och järnvägen. Det trafikstrategiska innehållet tar sin utgångspunkt från positionspapprets mål och inriktningar, samtidigt som alla berörda regioners trafikförsörjningsprogram och eventuella tågstrategier är vägledande underlag. Resandet Det regionala tågresandet har utvecklats starkt under de senaste årtiondena. Tågtrafiken är viktig både för pendlingen och för fritidsresandet. Pendling måste förhålla sig till en är rimlig daglig restid, som vanligtvis ligger inom en timme per riktning. Positionspappret och handlingsplanen har fokus på att få ner restider mellan Sydsveriges tillväxtmotorer på under eller i närheten av en timme. Regionerna har fortsatt tydliga mål om ökat kollektivt resande med en ökad marknadsandel i jämförelse med biltrafiken. Tågresandet är till stor del kärnan i det kollektiva resandet och behöver enligt målen ökas kraftigt, minst fördubblas på längre sikt. För Öresundståg antas inriktningen att klara 50 % resandeökning från 2019 till 2030, med sikte på fördubbling mot 2040. Trafikeringen I Sydsverige finns det i dagsläget sju olika tågtrafiksystem som utför regional persontågtrafik. Sex system sköts i offentlig regi: Krösatågen, Kustpilen, Pågatågen, Västtågen, Öresundståg och Östgötapendeln. Därutöver kör SJ linjen Göteborg- Kalmar. Alla systemen involverar flera regioner. Öresundståg berör även östra Själland.
