Question 6048 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Jérôme Buisson alerts the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, on the progressive deterioration of the timetables of the first direct TGV linking Bourg-en-Bresse to Paris in the morning, which harms the attractiveness of the territory and penalizes many users. While at the beginning of the 2010s, this train allowed arrival in Paris around 9 a.m. (with a departure at 7:10 a.m. from Bourg-en-Bresse), the timetable has continued to be pushed back over the years: 9:27 a.m. in 2016, 9:31 a.m. in the second half of 2019 and now 9:42 a.m. since 2020. This shift, although progressive, has a very concrete impact on the daily journeys of many residents of the MP's constituency, who depend on this connection for their professional, medical or administrative trips. The deputy is himself affected by this progressive shift in timetables of this TGV that he takes every week to go to Paris as part of his prerogatives at the National Assembly. This line sometimes experiences delays that could harm its work in committee. The SNCF, as a public company, is entrusted with a public service mission which must guarantee balanced regional planning and access to rail transport for all, under conditions adapted to user needs. However, the absence of a direct TGV allowing arrival in Paris around 9 a.m., while leaving after 7 a.m. from Bourg-en-Bresse, goes against this logic of territorial equity. As the main shareholder of SNCF, the State has full responsibility for the organization of the rail service. Also, he asks him what measures he will take to reintroduce a direct TGV in the morning, responding to the legitimate expectations of the inhabitants of Ain and respecting the principles which underpin the public rail service.
