CFR Infrastructura has opened the bids submitted for the public tender procedure for “Quick Wins Type Projects – Speed Limit Removal Works to Restore Technical Parameters of Track Superstructure”, on Line 412 Jibou – Carei (4 lots).
The distance between the two cities in the northwest of the country is 112 km, which connect only two trains per day in one direction, the time varies from 2 hours 33 minutes to 2 hours 47 minutes. There are Regio trains that stop at all stations.
Line 412 has never been high-speed, but has had a few trains: for example, in 2005 there were four trains a day between Jibu and Karei, and an accelerated train between Zalau Nord and Jibu. In the early 1980s there were only two trains a day from one end of the 412 line to the other, and journey times were longer.
