Auditors have issued a scathing report on the Léman Express service. Not the actual trains, but the status of a series of projects designed to boost the attractiveness of using the service itself.
For the first time, three different Courts of Auditors joined forces – cantons Geneva and Vaud and France – to write the report.
They find that over 60% of the projects, which include park and ride carparks, cycle lanes and bus stops – are late.
The Léman Express opened to great fanfare four years ago.
One of the main problems identified was opposition from local authorities.
Heat to stay for now
Growing anger over World Cup red card
Fire damages trees in the Jardin Anglais
Cows sweltering in the heat
Lake Geneva nudists fight for their lake section
Holiday makers seek more than the sun
