Question 17209 — rail transport

Summary

Ms Sylvie Ferrer questions the Minister of Transport about the financing of transverse night trains, which was announced in 2021 and for which no concrete action has yet been taken. The Government announced in 2021 the establishment of a network of ten new night train lines for 2030, including transverse lines and the order of 180 new cars. These lines are necessary as soon as the connection between the East and the West, in particular the South-West, is particularly complex, requiring long journeys and high cost. Transport by train is therefore almost impossible between these two sides of France. Between 2022 and 2026, demand for night trains increased by more than 300,000 users, even as it becomes increasingly complex to obtain tickets for a direct transport line. In a context of increasing fuel prices and a need to reduce the energy impact of mobility, it appears essential to implement the necessary means so that this project can be completed as quickly as possible. In this context, she asks him if the Government intends to validate the financing of these night trains from the fall of 2026, or if it still intends to make announcements without concrete action.
