The rail alternative
Line 90: Thionville–Luxembourg in 23 min, Metz in ~50 min. Packed at rush hour, TER/CFL capacity being added gradually.
The Luxembourgish leg is free; only the foreign section is paid, which is what makes P+Rs and border stations worth the detour.
The corridor
🇫🇷 A31 / A3 — Metz · Thionville → Luxembourg
+25 to +45 min at peak — the Greater Region's busiest corridor (over 100,000 vehicles/day at the Zoufftgen border).
The A31bis project moves slowly; meanwhile the P+R (Thionville, Hettange, Frisange) + train combo remains the best workaround.
Closer in on the same axis
Cities on the same corridor with a shorter peak commute — useful for trading rent against time.
