TiLo (Italian: Treni Regionali Ticino Lombardia) is a limited company established in 2004 as a joint venture between Italian railway company Trenord and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS); both companies participate in the equity of TILO SA with participation of 50%.[1] It operates standard gauge regional train services in the Swiss canton of Ticino and the Italian region of Lombardy.
Overview
[edit]
The company's goal is to develop the regional cross-border traffic between the canton of Ticino and the Region of Lombardy. In 2009, the company carried 6 million passengers. Most traveled along the Como ↔ Chiasso ↔ Mendrisio ↔ Lugano ↔ Bellinzona ↔ Biasca (S10) and Bellinzona ↔ Locarno routes (S20), served by trains every 30 minutes (every 15 minutes on average at peak times). Line S30 Bellinzona ↔ Luino is served every 2 hours, with a single daily train continuing to Busto Arsizio.
The staff that runs the trains in Italy is supplied by Trenord and by Swiss Federal Railways for the trains running in Switzerland. The trains are always accompanied by a driver only, except for the S10 only in the Italian section Chiasso – Albate, where there is also a conductor accompanying the train.[citation needed]
Rolling stock
[edit]The TILO fleet consists of the following trainsets. The Stadler FLIRT trains are equipped to run in both Switzerland and Italy, while the older NPZ trains are used only on peak hours trains in Switzerland.
- 19 RABe 524.0/ETR 150 Stadler FLIRT 4-car EMUs
- 11 RABe 524.1/ETR 524 Stadler FLIRT 6-car EMUs
