Gare centrale, Tunis

News reports say the station has been burned in a fire during the riots there.

Overnight looting continued into Saturday in the city's suburbs, with French-owned supermarkets among the properties targeted. The city's main railway station has been badly damaged by fire.

It seems to have been a modern building. Tunisia has an extensive system of railways, standard and metre gauge. A link to the Libyan system is being built.

The current station was built in 1979, replacing the then-100-year-old original station from Ottoman times.

yes the station and trains were quite modern , when i was there in the nineties .

Gadafi had plans to build a line from western Libya to the east. I wonder if it will ever be built? If it is ever built the Tunisians would need to convert their main line to the south to standard gauge.

All this must wait new governments in all the north African countries, something unknowable at present.
