La Vie Du Rail runs off the line (still)...

Each week, La Vie Du Rail makes us discover a different Internet site, they are often official sites, and this week of February 23 2000, the site presented defends the fraud in public transport of Prague. I had seen the article of the World, but I had gone further, never I would have imagined to find this article in a review joint pro-transport, a review coed or alternative, I do not say, but the Vie du Rail!!!! If one day the site of the Vie du Rail is born finally, can be will find a page special " How resquiller in FOR THE THIRD TIME?" or " How to avoid the controllers on line 1 of tram of Bordeaux?" There will be can be contests on the best blows to be made, not but that does not go the head to the Vie du Rail? I will also give an easy way me, how to recover a Vie du Rail free each week; then you..... zut, my hard disk crashed, I am wedged...


Does tram of Lyon have to you it only opponents?

What struck me in Lyon, it is the heat of its tradesmen, restorers; the Lyoneses are very cordial. But not, I joke! They as have the " pleasant " air as in Grenoble...

And in this moment, work of the tram goes good train, and one wonders how they make to go from also good train! When one reads this Life of the Rail of the 23-02-00, one finds only grousers. In " the Progres de Lyon " one finds also many grousers brought together in associations of grousers. And I always question myself to know how a man who seems quite alone succeeded in arriving from there there. In a few months, a tram will revolutionize the town of Lyon. Of course that work is very awkward, penalizing, and I hope that the tradesmen will have allowances equitable for stage the loss of earnings. They arrive at the end of their "work hard". And soon they will regret all that they said, and they will promote this tram in other regions, like made the Nantes ones, Grenoblois and the others. They will say " to the beginning I were against, but then, I quickly managed!".

According to what I read in the " Progress ", it y have phases of construction which was can be in extreme cases of the illegality, during a certain time, for the deadlines, but that was worth the blow of flirter with the law; the building site was not to last 5 or 10 years. In the article of LVDR, a remarkable question formulated by a " old Lyonese appears "; " why disfigure our beautiful city with a tram?". This " old Lyonese " prefers can be " the smoking anus " of Fourvière! And even of antiques trams to 2 axles would agree perfectly with the old buildings of the centre town.

The look of the Lyons tram, with this kind of hood diverted me nevertheless, Ca made odd! But one will be done there. It is like the generation of tram with low floor of which that of Grenoble at summer the precursor, I found this break in the rather ugly general line, compared to tram of more traditional and square Nantes. The look of tram of Grenoble or St Denis, now, one could not occur some any more!!! Once moreover it has there only the imbeciles who do not change an opinion.

I would finish on the determination of this man to defend his project, more honest than that of Nancy. Like what, even on the right, one can find people " well ", after Corinne Lepage, and Roselyne Bachelot, it is with the turn of Christian Philip to enter my prize list...


Soon a direct line TGV Paris-Chambéry?

Before starting, here the a little out-of-date card SNCF of the area in question:

For the lines of which I will speak, it is necessary to add the overhead line between Romans,Valence and Bourg de Péage and between Grenoble and Gières-Campus.

I recently received a trade-union leaflet praising the prolongation of the line of Satolas in the north of Chambéry! And why in the north of Chambéry? Because Chambéry is the seat of the regional direction? Or not to disenclose Grenoble?

The death-blow for the area grenobloise would be that the LGV leads to the north of Chambéry. Why not pose this station with Montmélian. The TGV grenoblois would pass by Gières, and would make Grenoble Montmélian-LGV in less than 20 mn. Why isn't one of the most rectilinear way of France electrified yet? Between Gières and Montmélian, speed could largely exceed 200 km/h. Between Valence and Grenoble, a handing-over with double track and an electrification would allow large economies to the SNCF.

The leaflet praises the aspect of " international station " of Chambéry. An aspect which could be strongly called into question if the trains of pilgrims, from Pendolino, Southern TGV of France-Italy, the trains of freight with destination or southern origin of France passed from now on by Grenoble. The grounds opposite the station of Chambéry are cold, as well as the postal sorting in order to receive station TGV... If one is in a true logic of economy, it is completely illogical to add 100 km on a course by Ambérieu. That would also make it possible to lighten the Montmélian-Culoz line, and especially to decrease the Lyons " stopper ". But not, for the moment, one évertue to pile up the trains on the Lyon-Ambérieu-Montmélian part. All that to be sure to give work to the conductors of Chambéry, to preserve the workshops, amongst other things, and to enorgueillir themselves to have one of the section charged, and the budgets which go with. In Chambéry, one did not connait the sharing of work! In addition to the southern trains of France - Italy, southern trains of France - Switzerland could also pass by Grenoble-Montmélian-Culoz-Geneva and the Lyons stopper would not be can be more also génant.

Does this situation become increasingly intolerable, the solutions of unchoking exist but they are blocked by the direction of Chambéry, until or this stupid management will be inserted you it?


 

And in no-claims bonus, an article on the station of the valley d'Aspe in the Pyrenees which I found this week. The Indian, Eric Pététin and his tape will be made expel by the SNCF, because the latter wants to get rid of its station. And of another dimensioned, the policies want to reopen the line. The SNCF you it also will remove iron, dynamite the bridges and the tunnels to make a possible reopening too expensive? There is something which turns by round over there! Or one crowned silly who wants to scuttle the projects of reopening....
