Fewer station stops to speed up TGVs
Some towns may lose their TGV stations in moves by the government to cut losses at SNCF and put the network on a new financial footing.

TransÂport Minister Elisabeth Borne called for a “return to a proper economic system†and said more stations meant longer journeys and having 230 stations meant high-speed TGVs spent 40% of their time on low-speed ordinary tracks.
TGVs have long been favoured over ordinary TER trains but that has also meant local councils battling to host a station to bring in visitors and businesses. However, despite receiving 16% of rail funding TGVs bring in just 1% of business.
