Good news for residents in Brittany as extra trains confirmed

The south of Brittany will have 21 more trains running by the start of 2026 (beginning in 2025) in a new express service agreement that will link Quimper in the south-east and Vannes in the south-west.

The new TER (trains express régionaux) service is the result of an agreement between the Région Bretagne and six inter-communal authorities in Finistère and Morbihan. 

The agreement for the BreizhGo Express Sud service was formalised on December 6.

The new trains will gradually begin running from September 2025. The communes represented in the agreement are:

• Quimper

• Concarneau

• Quimperlé

• Lorient

• Auray

• Vannes

“This is a historical moment of unprecedented cooperation in France,” said the authority representatives at the agreement’s unveiling at the Quimper station (Finistère), reports Ouest France.

“South Brittany is becoming a [real] zone of lively activity.”
