DavidB-AU Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Transport Minister Frédéric Cuvillier announced on November 14 that RFF is to undertake studies for a new line between Paris and Rouen, with the aim of improving conventional services between the capital and the regions of Basse-Normandie and Haute-Normandie.  http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/infrastructure/single-view/view/new-line-to-normandie-to-be-studied.html  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted November 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2013 Finding line capacity for these services between the various suburban services and freight has been a problem for a while now.  It will be a truly major project engineering wise with multiple crossings of the Seine needed if it follows anything like the present route. I suspect that they take a route arcing further north out of Paris and avoiding Mantes altogether or else come out from Montparnasse and a more southerly route.
