5 train-free weekends on the Paris-Orléans-Limoges-Toulouse line in 2023
From April 2023, several weekends without any train on the Paris-Orléans-Limoges-Toulouse axis are to be expected. At issue: modernization work on the SNCF line, which has been going on for ten years.
Not everything is on track for the Paris-Orléans-Limoges-Toulouse (POLT) line and has been for 10 years. In 2023, again, no train will run on the POLT axis over several weekends due to modernization projects.
We will have to organize ourselves before preparing a trip to Orléans, Limoges or Toulouse. The refrain with no trains, for several weekends, on this axis, has been repeated since 2013. And the year 2023 is no exception to the rule with five weekends with a total interruption to traffic on:
- April 8 to 10, Easter weekend, with a 54-hour break;
- May 6 to 8 with 50 hours of interruption;
- May 18 to 21, Ascension Bridge with 70 hour break;
- May 27 to 29, Pentecost weekend with a 50-hour break;
- November 25 to 26 with a 30 hour break.
On the section of the line located in the Centre-Val de Loire, work will focus on Vierzon station for the replacement of five old-generation signal boxes with a computer signal box. But also replacements of catenary wires between Orléans and Vierzon.
According to our colleagues from France Bleu Orléansno end date has yet been set.
