The line is mixed traffic, allowing the simultaneous traffic and crossing of high-speed trains travelling at 300 km/h, regional trains travelling between 160 and 250 km/h and freight trains travelling at 100 km/h with no restrictions. Freight trains up to 750 m are authorized, and even up to 850 m if necessary while the maximum authorized axle load is 22,5 t/axle.
