For the inhabitants of Normandy, the works may take place at the end of the route, they can affect their route. The Paris-Caen-Cherbourg line is directly linked by the Batignolles urban project which entered its final phase at the end of November 2021. “Several railway infrastructures had to be moved and rebuilt, and changes in the maintenance facilities at the Clichy technicenter are continuing”, specifies the SNCF. The Paris-Rouen-Le Havre line is also concerned.
Concretely, the end of this project translates for users into train cancellations on Monday November 29 and Friday December 3, 2021. Additional stops are also planned. During this week, the SNCF advises to “limit your trips”.
Fewer trains
For example, on the Paris-Caen-Cherbourg, 17 trains including 9 direct that will leave Caen to reach the capital, on a daily basis, against 22 in normal times. The first will leave Caen at 4:57 a.m., followed by a direct first at 6:56 a.m. to arrive in Paris at 8:58 a.m.
In the opposite direction, the last train will leave at 8:39 p.m. Still in the opposite direction, the first Paris-Caen is set at 6.30am, the last at 8.59pm.

10 years of work
This work should allow SNCF Réseau to create a PIVOS (computerized sidings management station) to replace an aging mechanical station, to build new installations at the Clichy technicentre in order to ensure the maintenance of OMNEO trains, to set up a bundle of tracks for the remission of locomotives, transform infrastructure including sections of track, switches and signaling, ensure an electrification site for the outer platform with the installation of catenaries and complete testing and technical verification phases for all installations.
“The Batignolles Urban Project is an important modernization project for the city of urban Paris (creation of an eco-district, park, offices, district court, etc.) in which SNCF Réseau has carried out numerous redevelopments of its rail activity since 2011 », Explains SNCF.
