Maybe only for high speed trains(3 peron,platform),which is ok.

Bombardier plans to invest in Turkey’s high-speed rail network

Dünya – Canadian aerospace and transportation company Bombardier plans to invest in a manufacturing plant in Turkey to take part in the country’s expansion of its high-speed rail network.


The company intends to manufacture rail systems in Turkey with an as-yet-unannounced local partner in the form of a joint venture, according to company officials. “We have already picked a Turkish company as a partner to take part in the government tender,” reports Furio Rossi, Head of Sales SEE & Turkey for the company. Bombardier plans to invest up to EUR 100 million in manufacturing operations in Turkey in case of a win in the upcoming tender, scheduled to take place this year.


“Bombardier is fully focused on the planned acquisition of 80 high-speed trains by Turkish State Railways (TCDD), with a manufacturing plant to be set up in Turkey to fulfill the 50 percent domestically manufactured content requirement of the tender,” said Rossi.


The Turkish government is looking to increase the use of railways and establish high-speed rail lines between the country’s major population centers. Significant investments in the country’s railway network will be realized over the next 10 years, which will increase the length of the network to 26,000 kilometers, nearly double that of today’s 12,000 km. High-speed lines are expected to constitute 10,000 kilometers of the total.

2015 Plans in High Speed Train Projects in Turkey

It’s not easy to follow the development of high speed train projects in Turkey from media. Here’s the guide for budgeted plans of high speed train projects:

Istanbul-Ankara High Speed Train

High speed train service between Istanbul and Ankara had started, but construction works continue in some parts. 700m TL (about €250m) will be spent this year. Greatest portion will be for the line between Vezirhan and Kosekoy. Another big portion is for the high speed train depots in Istanbul and Ankara. Line is planned to be completed in 2016 except Sincan-Kayas (innercity part in Ankara). So 3.5 hours of travel time will be possible after 2 years.

Ankara-Sivas High Speed Train

Budget for the 393 km long Ankara-Sivas line is 400m TL. By the end of 2015, 90% of the project will be completed. Completion of project is 2018.

Eskisehir-Izmir High Speed Train

Construction works will proceed slowly in the 487 km long Eskisehir-Afyon-Usak-Manisa-Izmir line. Budget is 200m TL. The completion will reach to 9% by the end of 2015 in this 4.2b TL project.

Bursa-Osmaneli High Speed Train

The project is originally 215 km long Bandirma-Bursa-Osmaneli. Bursa-Osmaneli section has priority. Budget is 150m TL this year. By the end of this year, 59% of project will be completed.

Sivas-Erzincan High Speed Train

234 km long, 4.76b TL worth Sivas Erzincan high speed line has a very little budget (40m TL) this year.

Halkali-Kapikule High Speed Train

230 km long, 2b TL worth Halkali Kapikule line will not start this year. This project may be funded by EU.

Other Projects

TCDD has a budget of 62m for the preliminary studies on new lines. Eskisehir-Antalya, Erzincan-Kars, Kirikkale-Corum-Samsun and Yerkoy-Ulukisla has 2m TL budget each. Rest will most probably used in “recently announced projects” like Kosekoy-Halkali, Kayseri-Nevsehir-Antalya, Karaman-Mersin-Habur and Sivas-Malatya. Another project which found lots of space in newspapers, Ankara-Istanbul Very High Speed Line which offers a travel time of 1.5 hour has a very little budget (3m TL).

Budget for the 393 km long Ankara-Sivas line is 400m TL. By the end of 2015, 90% of the project will be completed. Completion of project is 2018.

Is this a typo? If it will be 90% done by end of 2015, then why is the completion all the way in 2018?

 

[Saithan]

I expect there is a review of 1st year use of the rail, and then the final finances might take bit time. not to talk about there could be missing things along the way. But there would probably also be a trial period, where the rail are being tested before being opened to public. We don't want the train to be derailed do we ?
