Rehabilitation of the Tirana-Durres railway, what will be the possible benefits?

As the Tirana-Durres railway line is being rehabilitated, the data show that the economic, health and environmental benefits of putting the train into operation will be great. According to the technical report "A sustainable assessment of the assets of the Tirana - Durrës railway", carried out by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, the net cumulative benefits for a 30-year period are calculated at 270.34 million euros, deducting the investment costs.

This taking into consideration the income that will be provided by the operation of the railway, as well as the costs that are avoided in terms of health, time saved, the environment, carbon dioxide emissions or vehicle operation costs.

According to the report, only the savings that will come from vehicle operating costs, derived from the avoidance of maintenance expenses and fuel use, for the period 2024-2053 are estimated at 96.79 million euros.

Also, the report estimates that the railway will lead to an increase in government revenue through the purchase of fees according to transport users, in the amount of 8.67 million euros, while the cumulative income from employment that the railway will generate will reach 38.41 million euros.

Putting this railway line into operation will improve traffic conditions and increase the efficiency of movement in Albania, as the benefits in this case are estimated at 44.39 million euros, over the 30-year period.

The same report states that the health and environmental benefits are great, as a result of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to the reduction of vehicles that will circulate.

The results show that the cumulative environmental savings amount to 32.08 million euros, while the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions to 19.56 million euros. This is as a result of reducing the use of vehicles, choosing the train as a means of transport.

However, as far as the health benefits are concerned, they are also related to the improvement of air quality, as a result of the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, as well as the reduction of road accidents, leading to a decrease in the mortality rate.

The net health benefits amount to 44.93 million euros, while the costs avoided from accidents are estimated at 41.61 million euros. The train of the Tirana - Durrës railway will be electric, while the speed of movement is predicted at 100 km/hour.
