大力士高速列車(法語:Thalys [talis],亦譯作大力士高速列車西北高速列車)是一項國際高速列車服務,由布魯塞爾里爾HSL 1線發展而成。它由荷蘭鐵路比利時國家鐵路法國國營鐵路公司德國鐵路共同開發。

歷史

編輯

大力士高速列車自1996年開始穿越歐洲的四個國家:法國比利時德國荷蘭。主要城市為巴黎安特衛普布魯塞爾科隆阿姆斯特丹鹿特丹等地。在巴黎與布魯塞爾之間的行駛速度高達300公里/小時,車行時間為1小時22分鐘。每天從巴黎到布魯塞爾有高達25次的發車數。巴黎-阿姆斯特丹每日發車可達到8次,車行時間為4小時13分鐘;巴黎-科隆的發車為每日6次,車行時間為3小時50分鐘。布魯塞爾-阿姆斯特丹的車行時間僅為2小時44分鐘。

與歐洲許多高鐵或長途火車類似,Thalys的票價根據訂票時間有所不同:提前越早時間訂票且所訂的票在改退簽方面有嚴格限制則票價越低(早鳥票),反之較晚訂的票且出票規則較靈活的票其票價也較貴(原價)。在荷蘭,人們只能從幾個大站乘坐Thalys(阿姆斯特丹史基普機場鹿特丹)。在巴黎北站和布魯塞爾南站,人們不僅可以乘坐大力士火車,還可以轉乘坐其它火車遊玩別的歐洲國家,如通往倫敦的歐洲之星

Thalys屬於TGV家族,可以在不同的鐵路電壓下行駛。目前共有10列Thalys PBKA火車,從TGV鐵路網出發,通行於布魯塞爾、巴黎和阿姆斯特丹之間。PBKA列車可以在1500伏特直流電壓(荷蘭和法國(南部分地區)),3000伏特直流電壓(比利時)和25千伏交流電壓50Hz(HSL和法國北部)下行駛。

另有17種PBKA火車還可以在德國的15千伏交流電壓,16.7Hz下運行,並且也被用於巴黎布魯塞爾科隆這條線的交通。原有計劃延長在德國的服務至法蘭克福,但由於15千伏交流電壓的輸入不夠供應列車達至營運最高速度,該計劃已取消。魯汶列日之間的火車則使用新的HSL 2線。

2022年3月28日,歐盟委員會宣佈批准歐洲之星與大力士合併,大力士高速列車成為歐洲之星國際有限公司旗下的品牌。公司計劃於2024年將大力士吸收進歐洲之星品牌,但原大力士列車將保留原有塗裝以區分不同路線的列車。

Thalys (French: [talis]) was a brand name used for 高速鐵路 services between Paris 巴黎北站 via 布魯塞爾南站 to either 阿姆斯特丹中央車站 or to German cities in the 萊茵-魯爾, including 亞琛, 科隆火車總站, 杜塞爾多夫火車總站, 杜伊斯堡火車總站, 埃森火車總站 and 多特蒙德火車總站. Since 29 September 2023, the services continue to operate, but under the 歐洲之星 name; sometimes referred to as Eurostar Red, based on the colour of the trains.

Thalys was created out of a political ambition formalised in October 1987 to establish a network of international high-speed railway services between the cities of Paris, Brussels, Cologne and Amsterdam. The Thalys name was created in January 1995. The company procured a fleet of 阿爾斯通-built 法國高速列車 trains to operate its services as they were viewed as the only existing rolling stock suitable to the task.

On 4 June 1996, the first Thalys-branded train departed from Paris. Early services were more reliant on slower conventional lines as many of the intended new high-speed lines were still under construction. Service speeds would improve with the opening of Belgium's 1號高速鐵路 (比利時) line in December 1997 and the Dutch 南部高速鐵路 in December 2009, alongside other infrastructure works. Thalys's busiest route was the Paris–Belgium corridor; various airlines, such as 法國航空 and 荷蘭皇家航空, opted to discontinue directly competing flights with Thalys's high speed services.

From 1996 to April 2022, the service was managed by Thalys International, which was 70% owned by the French national railway company 法國國家鐵路公司 and 30% owned by the Belgian national railway company 比利時國家鐵路公司.[22] It was operated by THI Factory, which was 60% owned by SNCF and 40% owned by NMBS/SNCB.[23] Between 2007 and 2013, the German national railway company 德国铁路 had also held a 10% stake in the company.

On 30 March 2015, Thalys was restructured as a conventional train operating company, becoming less reliant on SNCF and NMBS/SNCB. During September 2019, a plan was announced to merge Thalys and the 英法海底隧道 high-speed train operator 歐洲之星. Approval of the merger was issued by the 歐洲聯盟委員會 on 28 March 2022. In February 2022, Thalys International was integrated into THI Factory,[24] which in turn was acquired by the holding company Eurostar Group英語Eurostar Group during the following month. From April 2022 to September 2023, Thalys services were operated by the Eurostar Group.

History

編輯

Background and establishment

編輯

Prior to the creation of Thalys, an express rail service had long been operated between the capital cities of Paris and Brussels, the earliest being run in 1924 in the form of the train service l'北方之星號列車. By the 1970s, the conventional service connecting the two cities had a journey time of around two hours and 30 minutes.[來源請求] In the following decade, interest in an international high-speed train service along a similar route was gaining traction amongst various governments.[25]

During October 1987, the political decision to create a network of high-speed services between the cities of Paris, Brussels, Cologne, and Amsterdam was made in Brussels.[25] However, in 1991, the Dutch parliament initially rejected the project; continued discussions led to an agreement being reached with Belgium for a route via 布雷達 instead of 羅森達爾. The building of the 南部高速鐵路 high speed line in the Netherlands was finally approved in 1996.[25] Meanwhile, Germany decided against the construction of a new railway between Aachen and Cologne, instead opting to renovate the existing track between 迪倫 and 科隆, which resulted in a top speed of 250 kilometres per hour along this section.[25] On 28 January 1993, SNCF, SNCB/NMBS,[23] 荷蘭鐵路 and 德国联邦铁路 (which became part of 德国铁路 in 1994) signed an agreement to operate the axis on a joint basis.[26]

During January 1995, Westrail International was created by the French and Belgian national railways to operate the new international services. That same month, both the logo and brand of Thalys were also created; the word deliberately lacked any particular meaning, save for being pronounceable in the languages of all the countries served.[25] It was decided to procure 阿爾斯通-built 法國高速列車 trains, similar to those already used by SNCF on the French national railways, as these were the only suitable rolling stock available at the time. Another key decision was to launch the service in advance of many of the planned high speed lines, being initially reliant upon slower conventional lines until these were eventually completed; the existing international services that used conventional rolling stock were deliberately withdrawn in preparation for the running of Thalys trains in early June 1996.[25]

On 4 June 1996, the first Thalys-branded train departed Paris, this maiden journey took two hours and seven minutes to reach to Brussels, and four hours and 47 minutes to arrive in Amsterdam.[27] Initially, Thalys services only operated four times per day to Amsterdam and Cologne, while a far greater volume were run between Paris and Belgium. While quite restricted early on, the number of Thalys services would be gradually expanded over time, as would the high speed network that supported it.[25]

Changes and improvements

編輯

During December 1997, the Belgian 1號高速鐵路 (比利時) line, allowing 300 km/h(186 mph) and running from the French border to the outskirts of Brussels, was inaugurated.[25] On 14 December 1997, the first Thalys train from Paris to Brussels ran on the HSL 1, reducing travel time to 1:25 hours. At the same time, service commenced to Cologne and 亞琛 in Germany, and 布魯日, 沙勒羅瓦, 根特, 蒙斯, 那慕爾 and 奧斯坦德 in Belgium. On 19 December 1998, the Thalys Neige service started to the ski resorts of 塔朗泰斯谷 and 聖莫里斯堡. In May 1999, the new high-speed line serving Charles de Gaulle Airport opened, and Thalys started direct services from 巴黎夏爾·戴高樂機場 to Brussels, including 班號共用s with 法國航空, 美國航空 and 西北航空. On 28 November 1999, Westrail International changed its name to Thalys International.[28]

In 2000, Thalys started a daily Service between Brussels and Geneva. With its Thalys Soleil (French for 'Thalys Sun'), it started offering direct connections to 普羅旺斯, initially to 瓦朗斯, and extended to 亞維農 and 馬賽 in 2002. Service between Brussels and Cologne was improved in December 2002 when trains began running on the new 2號高速鐵路 (比利時) in Belgium. During 2003, Thalys services started to 布魯塞爾機場 and the Thalys Nuits d'Été service to 馬恩拉瓦萊. In 2007, Deutsche Bahn purchased a 10% shareholding, while SNCF reduced its stake to 62% and SNCB to 28%.[27][29]

Beginning on 14 June 2009, the journey between Brussels and Cologne was shortened by 19 minutes when the new high-speed line 3號高速鐵路 (比利時) between Liège and Aachen opened using Deutsche Bahn's thrice-daily 城際快車 trains running between Brussels and Frankfurt.[30] While HSL 3 was completed during 2007, Thalys trains had not been initially equipped with the 歐洲列車控制系統 (ETCS) signaling equipment necessary to use the new line. Following the completion of installation and testing work, Thalys began operating on HSL 3 on 13 December 2009. For the same reasons, Thalys started operating on the 4號高速鐵路 (比利時)/南部高速鐵路 high-speed line between 安特衛普 and Amsterdam on 13 December 2009, two years after the line's construction.[31]

Since 29 August 2011, one return journey to Cologne has been extended to 埃森火車總站,[32] and since 30 October 2011, one return journey to Brussels had been extended to 布魯塞爾機場-扎芬特姆站.[33]

On 9 June 2013, Deutsche Bahn permanently ceased the sale of tickets for Thalys services, forcing affected travellers to purchase separate tickets. The company also opted to sell its 10 per cent shareholding in Thalys, marking a general parting of ways between the two operators.[34]

Since the winter 2013 schedule, Thalys has operated services stopping at 杜塞爾多夫機場車站.[35] On 12 April 2014, it launched a regular service between Lille Europe and Amsterdam Centraal.[36]

At the end of March 2015, Thalys dropped the Paris – Oostende and the Paris – Brussels – 蒙斯站 – Charleroi – Namur – Liège routes; this withdrawal was reportedly due to a lack of funding from the Belgian government.[37]

On 30 March 2015, Thalys was restructured as a conventional train operating company, adopting the name THI Factory, and has since operated under its own train operator certificate.[38] Prior to this date, the ownership of Thalys's 26 multi-voltage TGVs had been divided between the four national railway operators holding stakes in the company; they were transferred to the company at this point. These changes were promoted as making Thalys a truly independent company, reducing its interactions with both SNCF and SNCB; headquarters were established in Brussels, with a branch office in Paris.[39]

On 21 March 2016, services in Germany were extended to 多特蒙德.[40]

In March 2018, Thalys ceased all its operations from Lille-Europe, citing disappointing demand (despite lower-than-average ticket prices) and financial results.[來源請求]

Merger with Eurostar

編輯
 
Two Eurostar (formerly Thalys) trains coupled in 巴黎北站 on 19 October 2023: one of them still wears the Thalys logo.

In September 2019, the shareholders of the cross-Channel high speed train operator 歐洲之星 and Thalys introduced a plan to merge the two companies, named project Green Speed. Both companies already operate in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with Eurostar also operating in the United Kingdom, and Thalys also operating in Germany, while SNCF already held a 控制股權 in both operators. The project was promoted as reducing costs and providing a more seamless experience to passengers via the use of a single 電子客票 and 忠誠計劃.[41][42]

During September 2020, the merger between Thalys and 歐洲之星國際有限公司 was confirmed,[43][44][45] In October 2021, it was announced that, upon the completion of the merger, it was intended for all of Thalys's services to be rebranded as Eurostar.[46] On 28 March 2022, the 歐洲聯盟委員會 approved the merger.[47] The rebranding of Thalys services commenced in the autumn of 2023, and is planned to be completed by early in 2024. All services of the Eurostar brand will carry a common Eurostar logo, but with the cross-channel trains retaining their dark blue livery, and Thalys's rolling stock retaining its deep red livery.[48] In April 2022, THI Factory was acquired by a new holding company, Eurostar Group英語Eurostar Group; its former shareholders received a corresponding stake in the new holding company.[49][50]

The change of logo on the trains didn't happen in one day (see photo at right) : during a transition period, some PBA/PBKA trains with the new "Eurostar" logo could be seen together with others still wearing the older "Thalys" logo.

Routes

編輯
 
High-speed rail networks in Europe. Thalys line network shown in burgundy.

Beyond 布魯塞爾首都大區, the main cities Thalys trains reach are 安特衛普, 鹿特丹, 阿姆斯特丹, 列日, 亞琛 and 科隆. Trains to these destinations run partly on dedicated high-speed tracks, and partly on conventional tracks shared with normal-speed trains. The high-speed lines used by Thalys are 1號高速鐵路 (比利時) between Paris and Brussels, 4號高速鐵路 (比利時)/南部高速鐵路 between Antwerp and Amsterdam, and the 2號高速鐵路 (比利時) and 3號高速鐵路 (比利時) between Brussels and Aachen. For its seasonal operations within France, other high-speed lines are used.

Journeys from Brussels (布魯塞爾南站) to Paris (巴黎北站) are normally 1 hour and 22 minutes, for a distance of approximately 300公里(190英里). The peak service speed is 300 km/h(186 mph) while travelling a dedicated high-speed railway track, which is typically electrified at 25 kV AC by an overhead line.

The ligne à grande vitesse (法國高速鐵路) link with Charles de Gaulle Airport allowed Air France to withdraw its air service between Paris and Brussels; instead, Air France transfers connecting passengers onto Thalys trains.[51] Thalys has been given the 國際航空運輸協會航空公司代碼 2H. This is used in conjunction with American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. American Airlines has a code-sharing agreement with Thalys for rail service from Charles de Gaulle airport to Brussels-South. The 航空聯盟 天合聯盟 also has a code-sharing agreement with Thalys for rail service connecting its hub Amsterdam 阿姆斯特丹史基浦機場 with Antwerp-Centraal and 布魯塞爾南站. Thalys and the Dutch flagcarrier 荷蘭皇家航空 jointly collaborate on AirRail, an initiative to encourage passengers to travel by train to connect with KLM flights; this effort led to KLM reducing air services between Brussels and Amsterdam.[52][53]

Market

編輯

Thalys targets a passenger market in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.

The percentage of income coming from different routes[54] demonstrates on which routes the company is most used:

  • Paris-Brussels: 55.6%
  • Paris-Belgium (outside Brussels): 8.9%
  • Paris-Belgium-Netherlands: 21.3%
  • Paris-Belgium-Germany: 11.8%
  • Others: 2.4%

52% of customers are from the leisure market, while 48% are from the business market. A large segment of Thalys's total sales and income comes from the connection between Paris and Brussels.[37]

Unlike many national train companies, Thalys does not allow children below 12 years old to travel alone. Children onboard Thalys services must be accompanied and possess appropriate travel documents as required by the relevant national authorities pertaining to the journey being made.[55]

Since 24 August 2010, there has been a supplement of €7 to Thalys (as well as other international high-speed tickets) tickets bought at SNCB/NMBS ticket offices at train stations (but not on tickets bought over the Internet). This is due to a reduction of a sales fee paid by Thalys and Eurostar to the Belgian rail company.[56] The sales prices have evolved, by June 2019, the "booking fee" (as it is referred to as) had risen to €9.[來源請求]

Accessibility

編輯

Thalys trains are wheelchair-accessible, with the assistance of the train staff. Bicycles are not allowed on Thalys unless disassembled or packed in a special wrap. Folding bikes are allowed.[78]

In February 2020, Thalys announced that its new first-and-last mile travel service 'My Driver by Thalys's enables passengers can choose between around 50 local taxi fleets to complete their rail journeys.[79]

Thalys Lounge

編輯

Thalys operates station lounges in Brussels and Paris. Opened on 9 July 2015, the newest lounge in Paris' 巴黎北站 (not to be confused with Brussels' 布魯塞爾北站, where Thalys trains pass through without stopping), located on Rue de Dunkerque​(法語, offers travelers with a valid My Thalys World membership (Thalys's loyalty program) a variety of services, including free WiFi and a luggage storage service. For business travelers, a fully equipped meeting room is available for up to six people.[80]

Thalys PBKA at 科隆展會/多伊茨車站 with an Essen-bound train
  • On 9 May 1998, a truck was struck by a Thalys PBKA on an unprotected 平交道; it had attempted to cross the tracks at the crossing when the train arrived. The truck driver was killed in the impact and the train's power unit and first two passenger carriages derailed; the trainset was left heavily damaged. Six passengers were injured and the tracks and catenary were broken in the incident. Passenger carriages R1 and R2 had to be scrapped. The trainset was later repaired with the R1 and R2 carriages from a regular TGV trainset.
  • On 11 October 2008, a Thalys PBA set bound for Amsterdam collided with a national ICM英語NS Intercity Materieel train set at Gouda railway station英語Gouda railway station in the Netherlands. The Thalys train set had been diverted via Gouda due to engineering work on its usual route. None of the passengers were seriously injured, but both trains incurred serious damage. An investigation concluded that staff of the ICM train was to blame, as they left the station while still under a red signal.[82][83]
  • On 21 August 2015, 大力士高速列車槍擊案 on an Amsterdam–Paris train near 阿拉斯. The incident was treated as a terrorist attack. Three passengers along with the gunman received non-fatal injuries.[84][85]

"L'augmentation de 7 euros, c'est l'un des effets de la libéralisation du trafic international effectif depuis le 1er janvier, précise Michel Praillet, secrétaire national CGSP Cheminot. Dans ce contexte, la commission versée à la SNCB est passée de 10% du prix des tickets à 5%, affirme Michel Praillet. Une diminution de moitié, donc, qui aggrave les problèmes financiers de la SNCB. Est-ce que la SNCB espère ramener les comptes à l'équilibre via ce supplément de 7 euros ? En tout cas, cela devrait combler une grosse partie de la diminution de recettes liées à la décision des opérateurs", ajoute-t-il.
