Approval sought for Lugano tram-train

摘要

LUGANO - Ponte Tresa Railway (FLP) has submitted a planning application to the Swiss Federal Transport Office (BAV) for the first phase of the Lugano tram-train project. This involves building a 4km light rail line, which will branch off FLP's existing metre-gauge line at Bioggio-Molinazzo, running through a 2.3km tunnel to reach a new underground station beneath the platforms at Lugano main line station. The line will then continue on a street-running surface alignment to Lugano city centre.
