The regional governments of the Euregio initialled a memorandum of understanding to this effect at the end of last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La <strong>region<\/strong> made up of the Dutch and Belgian Provinces of Limburg, the Province of Li\u00e8ge and the Eifel region of Belgium. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/cologne-parcours-business-dans-la-capitale-economique-du-nord-ouest-de-lallemagne-20110104.html\/\">North Rhine-Westphalia<\/a> has a population of almost <strong>4 million inhabitants<\/strong>. This cross-border train project would strengthen the region's economic cohesion with an hourly service between the three towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/suede-trains-a-grande-vitesse-20230515.html\/\" data-id=\"148461\">Sweden continues to modernise its high-speed trains<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-trou-avec-l-allemagne\">A \"gap\" with Germany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The regional line, which existed in the past, is currently suspended due to modernisation work on the network in North Rhine-Westphalia. On the German side, the Aachen station is being integrated into the ETCS (European Train Control System) signalling system. Only regional trains currently run between Li\u00e8ge and Maastricht. As for the Li\u00e8ge-Aachen line, it is now served only by ICEs (German high-speed trains) and Thalys trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The future regional service will offer one train per hour between the three cities.<\/strong>. It would take less than an hour to travel from one to the other. Another advantage: the opening of the line will also make it possible to <strong>connect Maastricht to the high-speed rail network<\/strong>. With or without connections to Aix or Li\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, the line could be extended to the fourth largest city in the Euregio, <strong>Hasselt<\/strong>capital of the Belgian province of Limburg.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have announced their intention to launch a new cross-border rail service between Li\u00e8ge
