Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali Ticinesi (FART) raises the curtain on the first new train of the Vigezzina-Centovalli line, which arrived in recent weeks at Ponte Brolla. The day marks the beginning of the renewal of the fleet for the Locarno-Intragna-Camedo regional service and for the Locarno-Domodossola international service, a process that will be completed by 2025. On the occasion of the centenary of the Vigezzina-Centovalli railway line, the first of eight new trains built by the Swiss company Stadler was unveiled today. The new multi-units meet the ever-increasing demands for comfort, reliability and safety for public transport and tourism in the region. The new trains have been designed to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse clientele: they offer spaces reserved for families, with areas for strollers and wheelchairs, equipped services for small travellers, and accessible areas for wheelchair users. For the sporty, bicycle transport has been introduced, with the possibility of loading up to 3-4 two wheels per train. The modern design and spacious interiors guarantee a greater seating capacity, ranging from 109 to 142. The on-board information system is dynamic and real-time, providing passengers with an increasingly personalised experience. The whole fleet will be operational by mid-2025.
