Bolzano tram scheme moves ahead

摘要

Celebrations were seen in the Italian city of Bolzano on 15 December, as the first Railjet train link to the Austrian cities of Innsbruck, Salzburg, Linz and Wien (Vienna) was introduced, particularly pleasing those who remember the city's history as part of the Austrian province of Suedtirol (the service also runs to Milano in the opposite direction). Another reason for celebration was the news that the project to build a new tramline in the city is moving forward. Bolzano was once the centre of a network of tramways connecting the villages of the South Tyrol, opened in 1909 and closed in 1948. The launch of the website TramBZ.it will keep people up to date with the project, the plans for which were released on 6 November after local authorities had digested the results of an EUR853 400 feasibility and engineering study.
