If you travel regularly by train in France’s Dordogne region you may have been wondering where the newly created Sarlat-Le Buisson-Périgueux line went all of a sudden. It was first put in motion on January 2nd 2019 after Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s regional government requested it from France’s public rail service SNCF. However, only three days after the line was commissioned, the twice-daily service stopped running abruptly and without any word of warning. Local authorities’ request for some clarification from the SNCF fell on deaf ears for almost four weeks, only for the TER service to resume operations again on February 4th completely out of the blue. The SNCF finally spoke up about the matter and put the temporary disappearance of the TER Aquitaine train down to more works being done on the line.
