Singener curve

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Singener curve
Gauge : 1435 mm ( standard gauge )
Top speed: 80 km / h

The Singener curve is a connecting curve to the bypass of the station Singen (Hohentwiel) for freight and possibly also passenger trains considered in the course of the expansion of the Gäubahn .

The connecting curve should be single-track and passable at 80 km / h. It is an optional component of a EUR 320,000 study commissioned by the state of Baden-Württemberg, within the framework of which a four-stage package of measures between Stuttgart and Zurich is to reduce travel times by 19 minutes (compared to the 2016 timetable). This concept was essentially also used as a basis for the 2nd expert draft of the Deutschland-Takt.

The Gäubahn project in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 provides for a bypass of the Singen train station. Together with further expansion measures, long-distance passenger transport between Stuttgart and the border with Switzerland will be shortened by 11 minutes. According to the federal government, the Singen curve is a mandatory component for an economic expansion of the Gäubahn. Economical freight transport (without changing direction) is only possible with the curve.

The Singen municipal council unanimously rejected the realization of the Singen curve on February 21, 2017. According to later information from the mayor of Singen, Bernd Häusler, the city does not reject the curve for freight traffic, but only the management of passenger traffic over it.

The second expert draft of the Deutschland-Takt concept submitted in May 2019 does not provide for any passenger traffic over the Singener curve.
