Question 4769 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir questions the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, on the closure of the Guéret-Felletin railway line. This line closure will affect many small towns in the Creuse department. This road connects the prefecture and the single sub-prefecture of Creuse and more broadly allows the junction with the Limoges station, with the regional capital, Bordeaux, but also with the POLT line (Paris, Orléans, Limoges, Toulouse). If the future of small lines is threatened, the future of the territories is in danger. The state's disinterest is obvious. However, maintaining this railway line is vital for the economic and tourist development of the Creuse basin, for the movement of the population, the students of renowned educational establishments (Ahun agricultural high school, building trades high school of Felletin), the active people, all the users and with regard to tourism, for the service of the International Tapestry City of Aubusson. In addition, the timetables are not adapted to the needs of users and mean that filling the trains is not possible. Finally, the rail mode being the most carbon-free, replacing trains with buses as envisaged is not part of an ecological approach. The State has abandoned the countryside for too long and must reform itself in order to be able to generate investment capacity because that is what it is all about. He asks him what he intends to do to encourage rail transport, which is the most carbon-free mode of travel, and to engage the historic operator SNCF Réseau to perpetuate this structuring line, essential to the Creuse area.
