Abstract

Summary form only given. The Casablanca-Tangier high-speed rail (HSR) line is under construction in Morocco. The line is the first HSR project to be developed in Africa. Morocco´s new high-speed trains will carry 8 million passengers per year and is expected to be complete and in operation by December 2015. The Tangier-Casablanca section will form the first stage of the country´s high-speed rail master plan, which envisages more than 1,500km of new lines by 2035. The railway signalling, telecommunications and control traffic are based on ERTMS/ETCS: European Rail Traffic Management System/European Train Control System solutions.
