    Aargau Verkehr receives the first train of the new Limmattalbahn

    Aargau Verkehr AG (AVA) has received the first of eight light rail vehicles for the new Limmattalbahn. The Tramlink, a low-floor tram that was broken down into three parts, was built by Stadler Rail , based in Bussnang TG, at its plant in Valencia, Spain, and brought to Bremgarten by heavy-duty truck. According to the press release , the parts were then reassembled there by technicians from Aargau Verkehr and Stadler Valencia to form the 44.3 meter long light rail system. By November, the Tramlink fleet will be successively completed with a further seven light rail vehicles.

    From the timetable change on December 11, 2022, the eight Stadtbahn trains will transport passengers on the Limmattalbahn between Killwangen-Spreitbach and Zurich Altstetten. Line 20 then serves a total of 27 stops over a distance of 13.4 kilometers.

    The first railway that has now been delivered is to be used in the Limmattal from summer when the infrastructure for the Limmattalbahn is ready. Test drives are made from the new depot in Dietikon.

    Walo installs new flooring at Stadler

    Walo Bertschinger has provided the Stadler Rail production halls in St. Margrethen with a new floor covering. According to a message on Facebook, an area of 19,000 square meters was covered with the Haypanol-D covering in the production halls for the assembly of trains. The Haypanol-D epoxy coating developed by Walo has been tried and tested in industrial buildings and parks for years. The finally hardened epoxy forms together with the scattered material of the quartz sand a very hard, clean and even surface structure.

    According to a technical explanation on Walo’s special website for floor coverings, the seamless Haypanol-D litter coverings have high mechanical and chemical resistance. The property profile of the industrial floor coverings is adapted to the respective stress class. The anti-slip properties of the covering are coordinated according to the customer’s requirements. In addition, the system can also be designed as an antistatic or electrically conductive covering. The flooring has a longevity of up to 25 years.

    The Stadler site in St.Margrethen in the border triangle is the competence center for double-deck multiple units within the Stadler Group, according to the Stadler Group website. After more than 20 years in Altenrhein, this production was moved to the newly built plant in St.Margrethen in 2020.
