DB Cargo France is ready to resume services when the Frejus Railway between France and Italy re-opens at the end of this month after a 19-month hiatus due to a major rockfall in the Maurienne Valley. However, the company is likely to return to the Alpine route with a significantly reduced frequency, CEO Alexandre Gallo told Railfreight.com in an interview.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe re-opening is still scheduled for 31 March but at the moment we don’t have a complete picture on our planning. We had 36 trains a week on this route before the closure and I think we’ll only be starting up again with a dozen trains weekly or so until the end of the year,\u201d he said. \u201cCustomers on this route tend to be committed to rail, but some have had to make commitments to road hauliers and will not return to rail until early- 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
