Sarajevo City Center project











New local train is arrived in Sarajevo for test. Top speed 160kph.





Also for railway international connections, Talgo generation VII are already on way to Bosnia. In all until next year it will arrive in Bosnia from Spain about 15 compositions of that train which will connect on daily base main cities in Bosnia with main regional and EU cities. Also Bosnia invested a lot and in near future it will invest more in reconstruction of the Bosnian railway system. Main goal is to have double railway tracks system for the top speeds up to 160kph.

That City Center project is looking pretty good, and right in the middle of the city is the right place for shopping centers IMO. If, like you say, there's even more re-development of under-used/built downtown areas... excellent.

160 km/h isn't quite the 200 km/h standard (afaik) for new Swedish lines, but beats the Baltic rail projects out of the water by a fair margin. Also, if the plan is to make ALL of the rail in Bosnia double-track 160 km/h... awesome.

All that area around Sarajevo City Center construction site will be changed soon. New buildings around like for example new big concert hall, new streets and etc. Anywhere when this terrain was sold to owners of the SCC, it was pretty big interest from many companies to buy this. It was something like 20 companies interesting in this part. Trick was that owner of this part have to buy another company which was owner of that terrain. So it was some kind expensive to buy this. So I suppose with other terrains in that area will be even more interests.
About shopping malls, in that area already is U/C shopping mall of the one U.S. company. Shopping mall name is ALTA and it will be open in April this year. Also in Sarajevo on other plaices exist a lot of the shoping malls. How I know, all this area will be something like Sarajevo's La Defense (of course not near the LD in Paris), but mostly business, political and cultural buildings. So in that area are now Unis Twins Towers, Parliament of BiH, Museum of the BiH, Holiday Inn, huge U.S embassy (U/C), Turkish Embassy (U/C), Raiffeisen Bank HQ for Bosnia, Importanne Center, Alta Shopping Mall, Sirbegovic Tower, one other nice building (don't know the name, but it will be HQ for Telecom), new British embassy will also be constructed in this area, plus big concert hall which will be very extravagant, because it will cost a lot, but it will be underground and on the top will be some green area, like park or something like that. Plus it have a lot of the speace according to urban general plan for this area for new high rises. So I think for few years this will be very nice.

Where Sarajevo need improvements it is of course public transport. Reconstructions of the current buildings in Sarajevo is very rapid, construction of the new things also, so for next few years I think we will not be able to see that before 15 years Sarajevo had a lot of the destruction. But area where they need to improve a lot is transport in general, plus public transport in Sarajevo.

So those new trains are just one step forward in that direction. Reconstruction of the rail system is under way, I know that, where they came with that, I don't know. To have rail system for top speed up to 200 km/h, it is unreal in Bosnia now, because perhaps in Northern Bosnia it is relative cheap to construct something like that, but on South, South from Sarajevo and around the Sarajevo where exist five or more mountain massifs some high more than 2000 m, it will request many tunnels longer than 5 km, a lot of the bridges, so that investment will be pretty big.

Bosnia is not big like Sweden, so even with top speed 160km/h, trains like Talgo or this one, will need maximum 3 or 4 hours to go from North to South and Adriatic Coast. Also in world trains title technology is not quite good now, but in near future it will be better, so it is better to wait few years for better title trains, so that trip will be even faster.
