Better than an example of the recurring problems encountered by passengers who prefer the train to the plane between Paris and Clermont Ferrand. Just two days after the announcement of a extensive improvement plan<\/strong> On this route, the Intercit\u00e9s train leaving the capital at the end of the day arrived at its destination in Auvergne in the middle of the night, more than three hours late. This was due to a further malfunction, requiring the 247 passengers to change trains at Nevers. However, these passengers could count themselves lucky compared to the 700 passengers who took the same train on 19 January. More unlucky were those who found themselves stranded for more than two hours in the middle of nowhere, in the dark and without heating, due to an electrical fault in the locomotive. They left Paris at 6.57pm and arrived in Clermont-Ferrand in the early hours of the morning after a long journey. 11 hours of misery<\/strong> for a journey that normally takes around 3h30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One incident too many for the French government. On 23 February last, SNCF management, led by Jean-Pierre Farandou, accompanied the ministers for the ecological transition and transport, Christophe B\u00e9chu and Patrice Vergriete, to the Auvergne capital to present an action plan to improve the quality of service.avoid repeated malfunctions<\/strong>. \" I would like to tell them, as well as the local councillors and passenger customers, that the SNCF teams are fully mobilised.<\/em>said the SNCF CEO. I am determined to improve the situation on the Paris-Clermont line<\/em>\" .<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
