Expresso ABC

O governo federal irá ceder as áreas da União à CPTM (Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos) para implementação do Expresso ABC até 2015. "O prazo corre contra a gente. Temos dois anos para liberar. Esse é nosso compromisso com São Paulo", disse o diretor-presidente da EPL (Empresa de Planejamento e Logística), Bernardo Figueiredo, indicado pelo ministro dos Transportes, Paulo Sérgio Passos, para tratar do assunto. Ambos participaram de evento na vila histórica de Paranapiacaba, ontem.

A declaração pode frustrar os planos da companhia estatal, que previa iniciar a construção da linha, que ligará Mauá à Capital em cerca de 24 minutos - hoje o itinerário é feito em uma hora -, em 2014. O que emperra a realização do projeto é a existência de áreas da União dentro do trajeto previsto. Estes espaços são utilizados para transporte ferroviário de carga e devem ser liberados para o Estado transportar passageiros.

A CPTM informou que, juntamente com a Secretaria dos Transportes Metropolitanos, mantém entendimento com a Secretaria do Patrimônio da União e a ANTT (Associação Nacional dos Transportes Terrestres) para equacionar as áreas da faixa de domínio ferroviário para implementação do Expresso ABC.

Hoje, às 15h, o secretário estadual de Logística e Transportes de São Paulo, Saulo de Castro Abreu Filho, irá se reunir com o ministro dos Transportes, Paulo Sérgio Passos. O tema principal do encontro será o Ferroanel, mas também será discutida a liberação de trilhos federais utilizados no carregamento de carga para o transporte de passageiros. O general Jorge Fraxe, diretor-geral do Dnit (Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes), também participará da reunião.

"As questões do Ferroanel Norte e Sul, além do trem regional São Paulo-Santos, estamos discutindo juntos. O nosso trabalho está sendo feito estreitamente com o governo estadual", disse Figueiredo, que também estará presente no encontro.

De acordo com a CPTM, em novembro, foi apresentada uma MIP (Manifestação de Interesse da Iniciativa Privada) ao governo estadual, por duas empresas, para construção de uma rede integrada de linhas de trens de 416 quilômetros. Esta proposta articula o Expresso ABC com o trem regional para Santos, que terá o projeto funcional concluído ainda neste semestre. No entanto, a estatal já garantiu que o Expresso ABC sai do papel mesmo se o MIP não avançar.

Siemens Rail Systems has secured a contract from Infra.To, the owner of the Turin Underground in Italy, to extend the fully automatic VAL type underground metro by 1.6km.

Following completion, Turin's first underground line will have two new stations, Italia '61 and Bengasi, bringing the total number of stations on the line to 23.

Operations on the extended line are expected to start for revenue service by the end of 2015.
Infra.To said the project's construction work will not disrupt metro services.

Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT) has been operating the fully automatic metro line in the northern Italian city since 2006, while Siemens supplied the rolling stock and automation equipment.

"Turin's first underground line will have two new stations, Italia '61 and Bengasi, bringing the total number of stations on the line to 23."

Under a €37.6m contract, Siemens Rail Systems will work with GTT's Italian partner Tecnimont to provide Val control systems and carry out the required adjustments in the operations control centre.

Siemens has a share of €17.1m in the contract, which also includes the trial integration in the overall system.
Siemens Rail Systems will also be responsible for the certification and authorisation work involved in the commissioning of the line.

VAL, or automatic light-rail vehicle, is a driverless technology, which allows trains to run at more than 30 km/h with a peak speed of 80 km/h to reduce station waiting times to less than one minute.

Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

Singapore and Malaysia have agreed to new build a high-speed rail link by 2020 to improve connectivity between the two countries.
The new rail link between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur is expected to cost between MYR20b ($6.4bn) and MYR30bn ($9.6bn), and should reduce the 315km rail journey between the cities from six hours to around 90 minutes.
It currently takes around six hours by train to cover the 315km distance between the two cities, and four hours by road.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysian Prime Minister Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak said in a joint statement that the project is a strategic development in bilateral relations that will improve the connectivity between Malaysia and Singapore.
"It will facilitate seamless travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, enhance business linkages, and bring the peoples of Malaysia and Singapore closer together," the statement said.
Details about the project costs, the route and construction schedule have yet to be revealed.
"The new rail link between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur should reduce the 315km rail journey between the cities from six hours to around 90 minutes."
The countries have made the Iskandar Malaysia Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) responsible for finalising the details and modalities of the high-speed rail link.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak said that the new high-speed rail link would be built by a public-private partnership along with government participation.
"It will be on the basis of private sector funding with the government providing structural support and participation," Razak said.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the project would create a faster travel link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore by rail than by air, including waiting time.
The two countries are also planning to build a new rapid transit link between Singapore and the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru.
