Did you know... four million people a year use Cannes railway station?
NEW TRAIN TIMETABLE STARTS 11 DECEMBER 2011 - considerable changes predicted to all services
Clearly Cannes s
tation has felt the influence of the Film Festival. Murals on film themes are everywhere in Cannes.
Cannes railway station is hated by the locals and for 20 years successive mayors have tried to have it improved.
Unfortunately, the renovation of the station meant the loss of its mural.
Work started in April this year (2011) and everything should be completed by spring 2014. SNCF predicts the number of passengers using the station to double by 2020 - amounting to 25,000 people a day. Incroyable!
