The rail network’s great transformation
Did you know that France’s population has grown by 20 million since its rail network was first built? We’re constantly upgrading the rail network to keep pace with population growth and increased traffic. How? Find out in our webseries.
Two billion passengers a year
France’s rail network, which was designed in the 19th century, is continually upgraded to handle ever-increasing traffic. Each year, the network transports 2 billion people on some 15,000 trains a day, which makes ongoing innovation essential. We also need modern technologies to meet the challenges of increasingly urban lifestyles and comply with new European network standards.
As you’ll see in our 6 videos, whether it’s signalling, centralized network command, or managing network traffic, this high-performance network is already in the making—and it’s full steam ahead!
