SNCF Réseau, which operates the network, has awarded the contract as part of a performance plan agreed upon with the French state. This five-year contract, with an initial value of €118m, will take effect in January 2024.
It will involve replacing an average of 135 km of track per year using two ETF-proprietary systems: a 550m-long factory train that will replace tracks and fasteners, and a new 432m-long rail transport train that will carry new tracks to the site and remove old ones.
