The few trains between Bellegarde and Aix-les-Bains-le-Revard scheduled to call at Culoz reverse in platform C and use a connection from that platform towards Bellegarde. Culoz platforms A and B (the normal platforms for Bellegarde trains) are some distance away from platforms C/D/E. The connection from platform C towards Bellegarde is therefore some distance away from the line through platforms A and B towards Bellegarde. Some people may consider these as being two separate routes.

===Raccordement Valence TGV - Sillon Alpin Sud: east - south connection at Valence TGV===
Note D1:- From 5 February 2024
(ERA-E 32C2; ERA-R 75C1) FR19/803


This east to south curve between the Grenoble - Valence line and ''LGV Méditerranée'', via Valence TGV platform 5, was used by TGVs running between Grenoble and points south on the ''LGV Méditerranée''. One train each way between Marseille St. Charles and  Annecy ran at weekends in July and August 2016.
===Raccordement de Montmélian===
[ERT Not shown] (ERA-E 32B3; ERA-R 76A2) FR24/456


This train is reported to have run for the last time on 4 November 2018, leaving this curve with no service.
This south to east curve allows trains from Grenoble to avoid Montmélian and proceed directly towards Bourg-Saint-Maurice or Modane.
The curve has been used in the 2023-24 winter sports season (now ended) by a OUIGO train pair. It seems likely that the trains will run again in 2024-25. Similar trains routed via Grenoble may also use the Raccordement.


This route is the opposite angle from the grade-separated Raccordement de Saint-Marcel-lès-Valence which allows through running between Valence and points north via LGV Sud Est.

This line runs parallel with the Lyon to Montpellier main line between Givors and Nîmes, though mostly on the opposite bank of the River Rhône, principally as a freight and diversionary route. There are intermediate links between the two routes at St.Rambert d'Albon, Livron and Avignon Centre, and few passenger trains run the full length of the West Bank line. The line is used fairly regularly by passenger trains diverted for engineering work. Certain diverted trains can be identified when they are advertised to call at St.Péray or Le Teil (such calls may appear in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes fiche 05). These stations are on the West Bank line, and are retained so that passengers may board or alight from diverted trains near Valence and Montélimar, respectively.

Racc de St.Germain-des-Fossés

[ERT 328, fiche 06 Lyon - Clermond-Ferrand] (ERA-E 32A1; ERA-R 75A4) FR24/451

The line from Lyon via Roanne makes a triangular junction with the Paris to Clermont-Ferrand main line south of St.Germain-des-Fossés station. The south-facing curve is used by TER services between Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand via Vichy.

St.Germain-des-Fossés - Roanne

[ERT 290, fiche 06 Lyon - Clermont-Ferrand] (ERA-E 32A1; ERA-R 75A4) FR24/452

This east to north curve is used by Intercités trains between Lyon and St Germain-des-Fossés. This used to be the main line to Roanne, but after the east to south curve was built the service on the this curve has reduced considerably.

Raccordement de Montmélian

[ERT Not shown] (ERA-E 32B3; ERA-R 76A2) FR24/456

This south to east curve allows trains from Grenoble to avoid Montmélian and proceed directly towards Bourg-Saint-Maurice or Modane. The curve has been used in the 2023-24 winter sports season (now ended) by a OUIGO train pair. It seems likely that the trains will run again in 2024-25.

Note D1: During winter sports season

Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions

Rhône West Bank (Rive Droite) line: Givors Canal – Nîmes (Poste 1) and branches

[the southern portion of this line is in Occitanie region]

[fiche 05] (ERA-E 32B2-33A2; ERA-R 75C2-79B4) FR24/471

This line runs parallel with the Lyon to Montpellier main line between Givors and Nîmes, though mostly on the opposite bank of the River Rhône, principally as a freight and diversionary route. There are intermediate links between the two routes at St.Rambert d'Albon, Livron and Avignon Centre.

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


A local passenger service between Avignon Centre and Pont St Esprit (between Avignon and Le Teil) started on 29 August 2022, following an opening event and special services on 28 August.

The line is used fairly regularly by passenger trains diverted for engineering work, although few passenger trains run the full length of the West Bank line. Diverted trains may call at St.Péray and/or Le Teil on the West Bank line, instead of Valence and Montélimar, respectively. It is often possible to deduce diversions from St.Péray and Le Teil stops and from omission of regular stops on the main line.
See Villeneuve-lès-Avignon – Remoulins - Nîmes for any use of the Villeneuve-lès-Avignon – Remoulins - Nîmes line.


For such diversions, readers should check by means of the TER Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes website, fiche 05 and its associated engineering work notices.

There are diversions by two routes in the period 12 April to 12 July 2024

Vienne – Salaise - St Péray - La Voulte-sur-Rhône – Livron – Valence Ville

TER886143 21:20 Lyon Part Dieu – 21:54 Le Péage-de-Roussillon – Valence Ville

SSuX 13 May to 12 July 2024, but probably not 20 June when the routing is unclear.
