Live pipeline: About EUR 252m of published value across the 20 of the 34 records tracked here that carry a figure; fourteen records carry no value because the buyer publishes none, and one of those fourteen is the one procedure open on 14 September 2026 that clears the Atlas €5 million floor on its published scope. The total is the sum of one figure per record — the contract value the award notice publishes, or the procedure estimate where the procedure closed without an award — and comes to EUR 251,766,802.92, counting at EUR 5,430,779.82 the one record whose award notice prints that figure in three fields and a ten-times-larger transcription of the same digits in a fourth. The largest single figure is the EUR 53,521,280 interlocking contract for Bettembourg and Dudelange, then EUR 44,234,281.44 for the Howald platform and marshalling-yard package, EUR 18,693,817.42 for the Rodange depot design and EUR 16,832,878.01 for the Hollerich station design. Against that, the State published programme values the contracts sit inside are far larger: EUR 292,013,570 excluding VAT for the new Luxembourg–Bettembourg line, EUR 98 million from the Fonds du Rail for Ettelbruck, and statutory ceilings of EUR 114,900,000 and EUR 99,100,000 for the two tram extensions

Key figures

Luxembourg's railway lines and…271 km · 262 km electrifiedLuxembourg's railway lines and electrified lines in 2024 (Eurostat): 271 km in total, 262 km electrified and 9 km not, of which 237 km carry passengers and freight and 34 km freight only. THE NETWORK MANAGER AND THE COMPANY PUBLISH DIFFERENT MEASURES AND NEITHER RECONCILES THEM, SO ALL THREE ARE CARRIED WITH THEIR OWN LABELS. The Network Statement 2027, published by the Administration des chemins de fer on 19 September 2025, gives track typologies rather than a route total: 100.319 km of single track, 160.327 km of double track and no multiple track, which is 260.646 km of route. CFL's own key-figures page gives '628 Km de voies ferrées principales', a track figure and not a route figure, together with 68 stations and stops, 1,175 switches and 26 tunnels. The one place the sources corroborate each other exactly is the unelectrified mileage: Eurostat's 9 km of non-electrified line in 2024 is line 2b Ettelbruck–Bissen, which the network statement gives as 8.7 km of single track with 'Traction Energy: System none'

● transports.public.lu — Eurocap-Rail · The ministry's own page, last modified 5 August 2024. Eurocap-Rail aims at the rail interconnection of the three European seat cities, Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg; the Luxembourg interest lies chiefly in improving the line towards Brussels. The Commission placed the project on the priority TEN-T list on 1 October 2003, confirmed by the Transport Council on 5 December 2003. On the Brussels-Luxembourg section the line has been re-electrified at 25 kV 50 Hz AC in Luxembourg and the new signalling centre at Kleinbettingen station has entered service, that project having been subsidised by the Commission; in Belgium the line has been modernised and re-electrified between the Belgian-Luxembourg border and Namur, with seven curves improved, works complete between the border and Libramont and between Ciney and Namur and in progress between Libramont and Grupont and between Haversin and Ciney. CFL and SNCB are studying the operation of the line after the works (published 2024-08-05 · checked 2026-09-14)

THE NETWORK STATEMENT THE SAFETY AUTHORITY ITSELF PUBLISHES IS NOT QUITE THAT ABSOLUTE, AND BOTH ARE CARRIED. Appendix 2A of the Network Statement 2027 gives the speed control system line by line: nineteen of the twenty lines read ETCS L1, and line 6e Esch/Alzette–Audun-le-Tiche — 2.7 km of single track to the French border, limited to 40 km/h — reads ETCS L0. The gap is 2.7 km of a 260 km network on a cross-border stub, not a qualification of the roll-out; Mainline reproduces both statements rather than choosing between them. The ETCS project ran from 2003 to 2017 and CFL states it was co-financed by the European Union without naming a programme or a figure. GSM-R was commissioned on 9 December 2018. The largest signalling contract in this file, EUR 53,521,280 to Hitachi Rail GTS Deutschland, is for interlockings with central ETCS Level 1 Full Supervision at Bettembourg and Dudelange

Public transport in Luxembourg…free since 1 March 2020Public transport in Luxembourg has been free of charge nationwide since 1 March 2020 on every mode — bus, train and tram — for residents, cross-border workers and tourists alike; only first class on trains is still paid for. There is therefore no farebox in the Luxembourg market and no revenue-risk concession to bid for: the buyers in this file are funded by the State and their contracts are for building, maintaining and equipping the network rather than for running services at risk

CFL's own 2025 figures for inve…€327.1m through the Fonds du Rail in 2025CFL's own 2025 figures for investment: EUR 158.9 million of its own investment, notably for the acquisition of new trains, and EUR 327.1 million invested in the rail infrastructure on behalf of the Fonds du Rail. CFL's key-figures page states the State's investment in the infrastructure differently, as 'EUR 382,6 mio. (TVAC)'. The ratio between the two is 1.170, and the key-figures page labels its own figure TVAC — toutes taxes comprises, value-added tax included — while the annual report's EUR 327.1 million is not so labelled, so the two are very probably the same quantity stated with and without VAT. NEITHER PAGE SAYS SO EXPRESSLY and neither reconciles itself to the other, so both are carried with the labels their own sources give them and Mainline does not restate one as the other. The group turned over EUR 1.311 billion in 2025 against EUR 1.215 billion in 2024, with a record net result of EUR 35.3 million.

The Administration des chemins…50,391 path orders · 319,887 train runs in 2025The Administration des chemins de fer's Sillons division handled 50,391 train-path orders in 2025, representing 319,887 train runs, with 1,353 no-shows of which 20 per cent were passenger traffic, 35 per cent freight and 45 per cent the infrastructure manager's own. 56.6 per cent of all path orders were cancellations. Of the train categories actually run, 58 per cent were passenger, 39 per cent freight and 3 per cent the manager's. The charge for a path in 2026 is EUR 2.771 per train-kilometre for the cost directly attributable to operation, against EUR 2.651 in 2025, plus an administrative reservation charge of EUR 0.04 per kilometre for a preconstructed path, EUR 0.05 for a regular path and EUR 0.23 for an extraordinary one; no line is declared saturated, so the scarcity charge is nil across the network
