Question 24845 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Le Vigoureux alerts the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, about the frequent malfunctions encountered by users of the Paris-Cherbourg intercity line. Thanks to the vote on the mobility orientation bill (known as the “LOM law”), the main objective of French rail policy should shift from “all TGV” to improving the quality of service for users and maintenance of the rail network. In this perspective, the Paris-Cherbourg line must be the subject of particular attention. Since January 1, 2019, trains on this line have been running almost 1,000 hours late for a punctuality rate of less than 70%, compared to 87% nationally! The cause is often worn-out infrastructure and a new timetable poorly adapted to the realities of commuting mobility in the region. So much so that a Paris-Caen journey, for example, takes longer today than in the 1970s. Ultimately, this situation risks affecting the attractiveness of the cities served, and, consequently, local economic activity. Also, he hopes that he will be able to provide the most precise answers possible to the following three questions: firstly, what are the benefits of the Cherbourg-Paris line? can it expect from the commitment, made within the framework of the “LOM” law, of a redeployment of railway credits towards the maintenance and upkeep of intercity and regional lines? Secondly, what would be the planned phasing of work on the Paris-Cherbourg line, in particular those relating to the Saint-Lazare leapfrog and the Paris-Mantes section? Finally, he asks him what the terms of delivery of the trains would be. new for this line (calendar, amount of financial contribution granted by the State).
