Танзанийская железнодорожная корпорация подписала меморандум с египетской строительной группой Arab Contractors о пересмотре предложений по стандартной колее Южной железной дороги длиной 1 000 км от порта Мтвара до Мбамба-Бэй на озере Малави. Предварительный отчёт ожидается в течение трёх месяцев.
Новость касается железной дороги в Танзании и Южной Африке, которая не входит в Транскаспийский маршрут и Средний коридор. Прямой связи с перевозками по Среднему коридору нет; проект находится на стадии предварительных исследований.
Исследование Еврокомиссии указывает на отставание внедрения ERTMS и на зависимость от поставщиков, что может повысить стоимость. По плану национальных программ трасс потребуется оборудовать почти в пять раз быстрее, чем сейчас.
Еврокомиссия оценила, что внедрение ERTMS на сети TEN-T отстаёт: около 10% сети оснащено к концу 2024 года, а для выполнения национальных планов темп должен вырасти почти вкратце в пять раз. Проблемы с поставщиками и национальными вариантами системы могут удорожать проект (75–85 млрд евро), но новость напрямую не касается узлов Среднего коридора и носит общий характер, поэтому влияние на перевозки косвенное.
По данным правительства Германии, грузовое движение по скоростным линиям, рассчитанным и на пассажиров, и на грузы, сильно ниже прогнозов. Например, на линии Нюрнберг–Ингольштадт в 2025 году грузовые поезда ходили лишь «изредка» при прогнозе около 100 в сутки.
Новость касается немецких железнодорожных линий, которые не входят в Транскаспийский маршрут, поэтому прямой связи с перевозками по Среднему коридору нет. Косвенно она показывает, что высокоскоростные линии в Европе не всегда используются для грузов в расчётных объёмах.
Недельный обзор новостей мирового сектора городского рельсового транспорта: контракты Siemens Mobility в Эр-Рияде, тендер на метро Линии F в Буэнос-Айресе, кредит АБР на модернизацию метро Баку и другие проекты в разных странах.
Новость представляет собой общий обзор проектов городского метро и трамвая в разных странах, без новых событий по Транскаспийскому маршруту. Упоминание Баку касается только кредита ABR на модернизацию местного метро и не затрагивает грузовые перевозки по Среднему коридору.
Испанская Renfe выбрала Siemens Mobility победителем контракта на поставку 30 высокоскоростных составов с расчётной скоростью 350 км/ч. Стоимость составила 1,218 млрд евро; поезда заменят 23 состава серии 100 и будут работать на линиях Мадрид — Барселона и Севилья.
Новость касается внутреннего испанского рынка высокоскоростных поездов и не связана с Транскаспийским маршрутом. Прямого влияния на перевозки по Среднему коридору нет.
CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles представила в Китае первый из 10 пятивагонных составов для линий A и C метро Буэнос-Айреса. Ввод в эксплуатацию ожидается с апреля 2027 года, первые два поезда должны прибыть в Аргентину в январе.
Новость касается городского метро Буэнос-Айреса и не связана с Транскаспийским маршрутом: составы поставляются в Аргентину, а не перевозят грузы через коридор. Прямого влияния на перевозки Среднего коридора нет.
