  2. 🚄🇨🇦 #Alstom has signed a C$4.7 billion (about €3 billion) agreement with VIA Rail #Canada to design, build and support 313 new Adessia rail cars for its long-distance, regional and remote services. The 15-year support deal includes technical assistance and spare parts.

    The Canadian-made fleet will replace VIA Rail’s ageing long-distance trains and serve eight major routes linking nearly 400 communities. Nine car types will offer improved comfort, accessibility, connectivity and reliability, while retaining features including dome cars, dining and social areas.

    Design and engineering will take place in St-Bruno-de-Montarville, #Québec, with carbody production in La Pocatière and final assembly in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The project is expected to support up to 670 direct jobs and hundreds more across the supply chain, strengthening Canada’s rail manufacturing sector.

  3. Just seen at #Bruxelles 🇧🇪 Midi: the #Paris 🇫🇷 to #Berlin 🇩🇪 #EuropeanSleeper night train. The loco: a #Railpool #Alstom TRAXX 3 multi-system electric. The consist: an eclectic mix of couchettes and seat cars, plus one formerly ÖBB-owned ex-T2s ex-AB33 sleeper at the rear, still registered in Austria.

  4. Seen at Paris Nord 🇫🇷 station, just before embarking on a #Eurostar service: an #SNCF #TGV-M trainset, the future French high-speed train, built by #Alstom under the brand name #Avelia-Horizon. It’s most likely here on a test run. The black livery on the nose is, err, interesting (🙈) from an aesthetics point of view. And the grey tape, surrounding the hatch on the side of the nose: 🤔
    Otherwise: certainly a nice train. Looking forward to a ride at some point in the future.

  5. With #SNCF 🇫🇷 #TGV #inoui from #Strasbourg to #Paris. At 320 kph we pass along the #Champagne vineyards where the grape harvest is in full swing.
    Before reaching Paris Est station we get a glimpse of the new (or, rather, future) #Alstom #TGV-M #Avelia-Horizon trainsets, close relatives of the #Acela #NextGen #Amtrak #Avelia-Liberty high speed trains.

  6. The #Alstom Foundation and Instituto Jô Clemente (IJC) are expanding their “Virtual Reality for Inclusion” project, which uses immersive simulations to help people with intellectual disabilities and #Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop greater independence when using public #transport. Launched in 2023, the initiative has already reached more than 900 participants and indirectly supports about 1,800 family members, carers and others in their support networks.

    The second phase introduces more complex journeys, including transfers between #metro lines and routes reflecting commutes to work or school. By the end of 2026, scenarios will also cover crossing roads, navigating public spaces and walking through commercial areas. The project aims to strengthen spatial awareness, decision-making and other skills linked to independent living, social inclusion and access to education and employment.

  7. RE: fedifreu.de/@exiltoaster/11694

    Hat sich bestätigt, der Zug, aus dem ein Bahnmitarbeiter nahe #Karlsruhe während der Fahrt aus dem Zug gefallen ist, ist ein #Alstom Coradia Continental Baureihe 1440 gewesen. Ein Zugtyp der in Deutschland gar nicht selten im Regionalverkehr eingesetzt wird.

    Hoffentlich gehen die Ermittlungen zu dem gewaltsamen Unfall schnell.

  8. On time arrival in #ValenceTGV and finally the possibility to immortalize this #RENFE #AVE from the outside!

    #S100 #Alstom

  9. So here we are, running almost on time to #ValenceTGV on the most retro #Alstom high-speed train on offer, passing flamingos, cement industries and far right-wing towns. Could it be any better?

  10. 🚈🇦🇺 #Alstom has introduced the first of 100 Next Generation G Class trams into passenger service in #Melbourne under a €700 million contract awarded in 2022. Based on the Flexity 2 platform, the trams are built at Alstom's Dandenong factory with more than 65% local content and supported by a new maintenance facility in #Maidstone. The programme has supported more than 2,000 jobs and included a A$40 million investment to expand local manufacturing. Developed with input from more than 1,000 stakeholders, including disability groups, drivers and passenger representatives, the trams feature step-free access, regenerative braking, wider aisles, more doors and capacity for over 150 passengers. The fleet will be introduced in stages across Melbourne's tram network, improving accessibility, capacity and passenger comfort.

    So so., Regelbetrieb ...Getreu dem Motto: Vorwärts immer, rückwärts nimmer. Das Gefährt ohne Ticketautomaten hat zwar zwei Führerstände, kann (wg. angeblichen Softwareproblemen hörte ich) nur in eine Richtung fahren und deswegen nur auf Linien mit Wendeschleife eingesetzt werden.

  12. Auf Bebilderungen zu dem gewaltsamen Vorfall im #Regionalzug zwischen #Offenburg und #Karlsruhe, bei dem ein Bahnmitarbeiter anscheinend gegen ein Tür gestoßen wurde, sodass diese nachgab, der Mitarbeiter während der Fahrt ins frei geschleudert wurde und dabei schwer verletzt wurde, auf diesen Bebilderungen in der Presse sieht man meist den 1440 191, einen #Alstom Coradia Continental.
    Ist das nur ein vielgenutzes Pressebild oder war der Vorfall in dem Fahrzeug?

  13. 🇰🇿 #Alstom has showcased the construction progress of its new electric locomotive service depot in #Arys, #Kazakhstan. Located along the Middle Corridor, a crucial trade route linking #China and #Europe, the facility is part of a broader €50 million regional investment programme by the sustainable mobility firm.

    The Arys hub will maintain electric locomotives built for national operator Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, handling up to 120 locomotive sections monthly. This #infrastructure is expected to boost fleet availability to 97%, improving both domestic and international rail efficiency.

    The project forms part of a 2023 agreement with the #Kazakh government, which includes three other depots in Shu, #Astana and #Almaty. Nationwide, the initiative will create around 700 jobs. Alstom highlights that expanding electric rail infrastructure supports Kazakhstan's economic goals by offering significantly lower operating costs than diesel alternatives.

  14. Ministerium für Verkehr BW @VerkehrsministeriumBW@bawü.social ·

    Ärgerlich: #Alstom liefert unsere neuen Züge für die Murrbahn später. Statt der Coradia-Max-Züge startet im Dezember ein Ersatzkonzept bei dem andere #Züge übernehmen. Wichtig: Der MEX 19 kann dann vorerst nicht in Waiblingen & Winnenden halten. Bitte nutzt dort die S-Bahn oder RE 90/MEX 90. #Bahn
