Andrézieux

In 1832 this line was extended towards Roanne with the Roanne – Andrézieux railway, the third railway line in France. This line was later rerouted in the area of Bouthéon and integrated into the Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons-Lyon-Perrache railway . This gave Bouthéon a train station in 1864, which is still served by the TER Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes trains on the Roanne- Saint-Étienne-Châteaucreux route.
