The project to reactivate the Saarbrücken-Luxembourg rail line, via Bouzonville, has come to a halt. Last week, during a meeting in Saarland , the elected officials of the Grand Est region indicated that this idea is not among their priorities. Gilbert Schuh, departmental councilor and vice-president of the SaarMoselle Eurodistrict, is sorry. Last March, the elected representatives of the Eurodistrict, who came from Moselle-Est as well as the Saarbrücken agglomeration, adopted a motion in support of this rail line which would make life easier for frontier workers traveling to Luxembourg from the catchment area. of Moselle-Est and Saarbrücken.

Lead in the wing
“This motion was taken by the elected representatives of the Eurodistrict unanimously on March 4,” recalls Gilbert Schuh. Patrick Weiten, president of the departmental council, defends the return of this border train. But without the Region, the project is in the dark.
The project consists of reviving the Dilling-Bouzonville and Freyming-Creutzwald-Bouzonville-Thionville rail links to allow workers from the East Moselle and Saarland to reach Luxembourg, on existing rail infrastructure but currently only used for freight. .
