The Ligure was an international express train operated by the Italian Railways linking Milan with the Côte d'Azur. The train was named after the Italian region Liguria which was served by the train.〔TEE p. 20.〕 ==Trans Europ Express== The Ligure was planned to be one of the initial TEE services at the start of the network at 2 June 1957. However the rolling stock was late itself and the service couldn't start before 12 August 1957.〔Das grosse TEE Buch p. 116〕 Initially the service linked Milan with Marseille calling at several cities, as Genoa, Monaco and Nice and tourist resorts along the Mediterrenean coast. The Aln 442-448 diesel multiple units attracted more and more passengers over the years and by 1966 the train was coupled with an Ale-840 on the Italian stretch to cope with the raising number of travellers.〔Il TEE Breda p. 34.〕 In 1969 the route was prolonged further west to Avignon in order to provide a TEE link between Milan and Barcelona using the newly introduced TEE Catalan Talgo and the TEE Ligure. The timetable was changed in a way that passengers could change from the Catalan Talgo to the Ligure and vice versa in Avignon at around 3 p.m.〔Il TEE Breda p. 36.〕 The formation was changed as well to two Aln 442-448 coupled between Milan and Nice.〔La Légende des TEE p. 199.〕 Timetable in 1971 〔Vorfahrt in Europa table. 20〕 (France and Monaco are in Central European timezone, Italy at that time in the Eastern European timezone, the real traveltime between Monaco and Ventimiglia is 17 minutes) On 1 October 1972 the rolling stock was replaced by Gran Conforto coaches hauled by an electric locomotive class E 444. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ligure (train)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
