Beschrijving van het project
The Bretagne-Pays-de-Loire (BPL) High Speed Line (HSL) project is the extension towards Rennes and Nantes of the Paris-Connerré HSL commissioned in 1989. The project objective was to significantly improve length of travel time and service of Bretagne and Pays-de-Loire French regions.
The BPL Project consisted of a main section of 182-km double track line between Connerré and Cesson-Sévigné, with 6 connections to the French network totalling 36km of double tracks and 2 single-track connections at la Milesse and Conneré. The main section was electrified to 25kV – 50Hz and is equipped with GSM-R, ETCS L2 and TVM 300 (French Class B System). Passenger and Freight traffic sections are equipped with ETCS L1 as well to allow freight trains operating at 100kph.
