Annus horribilis for travelers.

The year 2021 is about to be very bad for the TER of Hauts-de-France.

The results of the first half of the year concerning the quality of passenger transport in France have just been unveiled by the Ministry for Ecological Transition.

Whether in terms of delay or cancellation, the Hauts-de-France region is a bad student.

Thus, cancellation and delay rates are the highest in France.

The cancellation rate reached 3.6%, against 1% in Brittany (the lowest).

In question, two strikes, in March and June, and degradation of infrastructure caused by violent storms, explains the ministerial report.

It is also the highest rate of degradation compared to 2020.

External causes and suspicious packages

The late payment rate is 9.1%, compared to 3.2% in Brittany (also the lowest).

These delays can be explained in particular by the episode of extreme cold and snow, between February 7 and 14, which had an impact on the infrastructure.

A finding that saddens the Federation of Transport Users (Fnaut) of Hauts-de-France.

“Still no improvement in sight, deplores its spokesperson, Gilles Laurent, in a press release.

Each day brings its share of laconic announcements: "The train, or the staff, having to make this departure was not available to ensure this trip in complete safety", which results in canceled or abnormally short trains.

"

Nevertheless, a more complete analysis of the causes of these delays shows a preponderance of external causes (17%) and suspicious packages (17%), ahead of personal accidents (11%), weather conditions (11%) and malicious intent (11%).

Social movements only caused 6% of these delays in the first half of the year.
