Bombardier Transportation has unveiled its first Omneo double-deck train, the latest addition to the company's double-deck EMU range, at its site in Crespin, northern France. The new train, named Regio 2N by the French regions, is wider than conventional electric multiple units (EMUs) for increased onboard space, maximum seating and large access platforms with two wide doors. The new Regio 2N vehicle is available in several configurations, from six to ten cars, with a total length of between 81m and 135m, and has capacity to travel at speeds between 160kmph and 200kmph. To date, France's Aquitaine, Brittany, Centre, Nord-Pas de Calais, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Rhône-Alpes regions have placed firm orders for 129 Regio 2N trains. Bombardier said the new EMU is the eighth in a batch of nine test trains the company has built to allow several tests required for approval to be carried out simultaneously. "The new train, named Regio 2N by the French regions, is wider than conventional electric multiple units (EMUs)." Several trains will run test journeys from January 2014 while waiting for certification, to allow SNCF to operate and check operational reliability before full commissioning. Bombardier Transportation president Lutz Bertling said the increasing use of regional trains in France reflects successful efforts to facilitate the sustainable and comfortable mobility of their populations. "This train is the right choice to meet the future needs of regional transportation not only because of its large capacity, passenger comfort and high performance, but also thanks to the many configurations available, such as the InterCity V200 version," Bertling said. "Bombardier's Crespin teams have met an outstanding technical challenge by delivering a completely new industrial product as complex as this one, and in such a short time-frame," Bertling added.

Denouncing the railway freight tariff hike as a measure that would accelerate inflation and further affect the economy and people, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa today urged the Centre to immediately withdraw the increase."At a time when inflation is skyrocketing due to continuous increase in the price of petroleum products, the hike in railway freight tariff by the Centre is akin to adding fuel to fire," Jayalalithaa said in a statement here.Criticising the 'dynamic pricing policy' being followed by the Centre in classifying railway freight tariff under 'busy and lean season' categories, she said the classification was artificial and unjustified."Due to the hike in tariff, the price of all essential commodities and raw materials for industries like cement, coal and iron will increase."When the cost of food products is already witnessing a continuous increase, the hike in railway tariff will have a spiraling effect and lead to further inflation, she said.

Railway Minister M. Mallikarjuna Kharge on Saturday urged the State government to immediately release its share of funds for railway projects and pace up land acquisition process so as to speed up completion of the ongoing projects.

Speaking after flagging off the Yeshwanthpur-Mangalore Weekly Express here, Mr. Kharge said in the last six months, the government has released only Rs. 50 crore whereas the Railways has released Rs. 320 crore. The Railways has earmarked over Rs. 700 crore for projects in Karnataka and an equal amount has to come from the State government. In the next six months, the government has to release the balance Rs. 650 crore at the rate of Rs. 109 crore a month, he said.

Patting his own back, Mr. Kharge said in 100 days of assuming the office, he not only got 13 trains announced in the Railway Budget for Karnataka but also introduced three new trains which were not announced in the budget.

As far as ongoing projects are concerned, land acquisition at certain stretches has been hampering the progress. If the government provides land near Kunigal Stud Farm immediately, the Railways could complete the Bangalore-Hassan new line within this year, he said.

Similarly, if the government completes rehabilitation of affected people on the Chikballapur-Kolar line, services could start within two months. Ditto is the case with the Kottur-Harihara new line where land acquisition on a small stretch is hampering the project. Mr. Kharge said the Railways would commence operation on Kadur-Chickmaglur new lines within a month.

Speaking earlier, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas M. Veerappa Moily urged Mr. Kharge to announce Mangalore and Gulbarga as new divisional headquarters for South Western Railway. “Mangalore has all the potential to become a divisional headquarters so as your Gulbarga. Please expedite the process,” he said.

Stating that the Sakleshpur-Mangalore line is not exploited to its capacity, Mr. Moily asked the Railway Minister to speed up the Bangalore-Hassan new line project which reduced the travel time by over four hours between Bangalore and Mangalore. “I’ll take up the matter of land acquisition near Kunigal with the State government,” he said.

Minister of State for Food and Civil Supplies Dinesh Gundu Rao, and senior railway officials were present.
