  • La SNCB mise sur l'interopérabilité et la gestion transfrontalière des tractions
    "Nous sommes résolument engagés dans la logique de l'interopérabilité du matériel. Il est devenu impératif de diminuer les relais au cours d'une prestation, car cela se traduit par des pertes de temps en cours de route, notamment du fait que les sillons ne sont pas bons à cause de l'insertion des trains de voyageurs. Ainsi, il y a actuellement des régions en Allemagne et en France qui sont devenues impraticables à cause des trains à passagers. Il faut que des sillons soient réservés au fret". Tels sont les propos que nous ont tenus des représentants de la haute direction de la SNCB et de certaines de ses filiales, rencontrés sur leur stand à l'exposition "Intermonal 99", qui s'est tenue la semaine dernière à Londres.

Selon un communiqué, cette transaction permet de procéder à une intégration complète de ASG dans Danzas.
  • Rhin d'Acier: les ministres se reverront en janvier
    Le dossier du Rhin d'Acier suit le rythme de la procession d'Echternach: un pas en avant, deux pas en arrière. Lors du récent sommet du conseil européen des ministres du transport, Tineke Netelenbos a approuvé une utilisation temporaire (entre 2003 et 2009) du Rhin d'Acier sur le tracé historique, donc à travers la zone de silence du Meinweg, en attendant la construction d'une nouvelle ligne, utilisable en 2009... mais pour autant que les résultats de l'étude d'incidence soient favorables.
