SBB Cargo ends 2015 with losses of CHF 22 million
SBB Cargo’s transport performance of 15.1 billion net tonne kilometres was 4.1 per cent above the 2014-level
Against this background, the one-in-a-century construction project, the new Gotthard tunnel, casts its shadow. On 1 June 2016, the 57 kilometres and hence the world’s longest railway tunnel will be officially inaugurated. Start of operation is planned with the change of the schedules on 10/11 December. Cargo transport will profit from a prognosticated 59 per cent increase in transport capacity by 2030. Travel time between Zurich and Milano will be reduced by 30 minutes, to 60 minutes from 2020.
