Estonia, Latvia: Tallin and Riga to be linked by 2012

The rail passenger service between Tallinn and Riga should start in 2012, Baltic Business News reports referring to the Estonian authorities.



Next year, a railway line from Tallinn to Tartu is going to be modernized, in order to allow trains to cover the distance in 2 hours. The section between Tartu and Valga will also be developed, so the route would take around one hour.

Currently, a travel by rail from Valga to Riga takes three hours. According to the Estonian authorities, it is too much to compete with the air and road transport. The aim is that the route between Tallinn and Riga should not take more than four hours and a half.

Estonia plans to invest a total of EEK 1.2 billion in modernization of railway infrastructure, Baltic Business News writes.
