MOROCCO: The first of 12 Alstom Duplex high speed trainsets for national railway ONCF was unloaded at the Port of Tanger Last month . It had been shipped from the Port of La Pallice near La Rochelle in France onboard Ville de Bordeaux, a roll-on roll-off vessel custom-built to carry Airbus A380 aircraft sections. They are to be used on Tanger – Casablanca services, using a 320 km route including a 183 km high speed line which is being built for operation at up to 320 km/h. From Kénitra to Casablanca the services will use a conventional line upgraded for speeds up to 220 km/h. Opening of the new line was planned for December this year when construction was launched by King Mohammed VI and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in September 2011, but delays to the infrastructure works mean this has now been put back to 2017. The rolling stock contract worth almost €400m.

If not for the past administration that resuscitate our railway (a little bit), who will be thinking of Train for Nigeria? Now, everyone is shouting that GEJ trains are "old" and outdated when there are fast train and "Bullet train" that are competing with Airline. We thank GEJ for opening the gateway. We hope the present government will consolidate on this and deliver us Fast train if we cant afford Bullet Train(for now.) ***NB*** if i ignore your quote, i means such mention is shalow. |

Nigerians, can you see the contract was billed at $400million for 320km? The kano-lagos rail was $8.3billion for a very slow train. Do the maths. This is the reason why Nigeria needs to privatise most of this project because the cost of some of this project are astronomical and would eventually drive Nigeria into bankruptcy. |

Demmocrats:Stuff like this makes me angry for days. The average citizens are just too stupidd and naive, otherwise I can't comprehend why most people are cool with this daylight robbery without any uproar. My cousin told me underground rail tends to cost 20 times more than overhead lines, yet, the cost of the current lagos overground line is comparable to the cost of jubilee line in London(second most modern line after central line) and red mbta of Newyork subway. |
