    Do you have actual numbers that support that for the French bus service replacing their rail? As when that was mooted when Beeching did the same rail cuts to the UK railway lines, the buses for small and unpopular branch lines lasted a year or so before they were also cancelled or massively scaled back

      No, no numbers, but I have heard and read that that’s the history of the smaller railways in other European countries around that time.
