The journey time to Paris is around an hour, to Strasbourg one and a half hours and to Bordeaux five hours. The station was to be used by 40,000 travelers a year.

There are bus connections from the train station to Bar-le-Duc and Verdun . Since 2010 there has also been a bus to Commercy , as the connection with the TGV was ended.

location

The station is about halfway between Verdun and Bar-le-Duc , on the so-called Voie Sacrée ( Holy Street ) - in memory of the First World War . It is located in a very sparsely populated and structurally weak region; Local politicians hope that the fast connection to Paris, Strasbourg and Germany will increase the number of tourists and that companies will settle in the vicinity of the new train station.
