French look into rail link

A feasibility study into a high speed rail freight link between Paris CDG and Liege airports will be completed within the next two months.
Liege airport’s general manager, Luc Partoune, said one TGV Cargo train carrying mail, express and small parcels could cover the distance in 2 1/2 hours and offer capacity equivalent to a B747 freighter.
No date has been set for the launch of the TGV Cargo, a crucial issue being what timetabling provision SNCF and SNCB could offer the service.
This was one of the main sticking points in an aborted attempt by DHL to set up a high-speed rail link between Paris and Brussels over a decade ago
