Question 6458 — rail transport

Summary

The Government is fully aware of the importance of railway lines incorrectly called "small lines" for the vitality of territories, particularly for rural areas. The state of the territory’s fine service line network is indeed worrying. Thus, the needs to upgrade these lines amount to nearly 5 billion euros for the next 10 years on a national scale. The financing of the Regeneration of these lines is ensured by both the State and local authorities, first and foremost the regions, within the framework of State-region plan contracts (CPER). The Government is committed not to follow the recommendations of the Spinetta report on this subject, because they are an essential component of the vitality of the territories. The State will remain alongside the communities to maintain this network and, in Consequently, the commitments made within the framework of the CPERs will be kept and financed to the tune of the 1.5 billion euros planned. The Government has also recorded a considerable increase in SNCF Réseau's investments in the national rail network, bringing them for the next 10 years to €10 million per day, or €3.6 billion per year, while continuing its active support for TER and TET movements by subsidizing to the tune of 2.2 billion euros per year. Finally, as announced by the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, the Government will take over 35 billion euros, 20 billion in 2020 and 15 billion in 2022, of the SNCF debt.
