Hey #Railway Fedi - I've been looking at what I can about the plans for Canfranc and the Pau-Canfranc link ahead of the reopening of the line on Monday. The French information makes a lot of pomp and circumstance about the new TERs that will be running by 2032, and a mention of 2 long distance return trips per day through the tunnel from Pau to Zaragoza.
Except... I can find no mention at all of how they're hoping to deal with the gauge issue. There was never a gauge changer at Canfranc, as it was never included in the TEE. I can't find any mention of a new one being constructed. I have found mention of a feasibility study to convert Zaragoza-Canfranc to either standard or dual gauge, but that seems ambitious given the 2032 time frame given it's 188km of track, and Adif only just finished renewing the Jaca-Canfranc Iberian gauge track last month.
So... How are they hoping to do it? Can anyone point me at some report, or source on the matter?
