Question 15568 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Manuel Bompard draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport, to the region-region and region-Europe night trains. The public authorities have relaunched several night trains from Paris, thus providing necessary service for the southern regions of the metropolitan territory. However, this is not enough to meet the needs residents of these regions. For example, residents of the South - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region need to go to Strasbourg, Nancy, Metz, Lille, Brussels, Nantes or Bordeaux just as much as they do to Paris. In addition, it is over these distances that train travel times are the longest. The trip often consumes a full day. Furthermore, journeys often involve a compulsory connection, which leaves the fear of not being able to arrive at your destination before the end of the day in the event of a delay of one of the trains and a breakdown in the connection. The night train is therefore relevant for regaining connectivity in the metropolitan area by rail. The 2021 report on territorial balance trains (TET) showed the relevance of relaunching night trains on certain region-region routes. However many crossbars are missing. For example, the Nice-Marseille-Bordeaux-La Rochelle-Nantes night train alone would reconnect 10% of the metropolitan population. He asks him if the Government intends to complete the plan proposed by the TET report in particular to better connect all the regions together and connect them to the Member States of the European Union.
