The Transport Regulatory Authority gave the green light on Thursday to the Railcoop cooperative to operate six rail lines including Lille-Nantes and Le Croisic-Bâle. Railcoop is a small railway cooperative which intends to relaunch the lines “abandoned by the SNCF”.
The journey between Nantes and Lille will take … 9 hours
Railcoop’s offer includes, for example, two daily return trips between Lille-Flandres and Nantes, with stops in Amiens, Rouen, Caen and Saint-Lô, in particular, and a total journey time of over 9 hours. The first trips will take place in December 2022.
