    For the unaware:

    map of passenger train network in France, comparing 1930 to 2014. the caption states the total length of the network has shrunk by 16,000 km over this period

    In the small town where I grew up, the train station got turned into a supermarket + gas station + mcdonalds (yes, really 🤮 ). To take a train to anywhere else in France, you first have to drive 25 minutes (not the longest, but really defeats the point of taking local / regional trains).
