Numerous train lines linking cities across France could soon be removed if the Ministry of Transport decides to act on the advice presented in a controversial report that was published on Tuesday. The report says France’s Intercity train network - not to be confused with the high-speed TGV network - has fallen into a state of disrepair and it would be better for passengers and the government if certain lines were removed. It talks of “significantly increased travel times”, “continually deteriorating service”, and 'a decline in regularity” on a network that is 400 million in debt. [From Richard Buckby]
