[fiche Dijon - Laroche - Auxerre (TER directs et omnibus)] (ERA 31B1, not shown; 50D4) FR20/201

Used by through trains between Auxerre-St Gervais and Dijon Ville, between Laroche-Migennes (station south side, voie K, where the trains reverse) and St Florentin-Vergigny. The east end connection with the former PLM main line at Poste 4 is a grade-separated junction, with separate pair (up) and impair (down) raccordements.

From Laroche-Migennes: 05:59 SSuX, 15:59 SSux, 17:59 SX

Raccordement de Perrigny (Dijon): Bifurcation Raccordement Belfort - Perrigny Bifurcation km 318 Chagny lines

[ERT379] (ERA 31C2 not shown; 66C4) FR20/202

A 2013 high level link south of Dijon between the Dole and Beaune lines, forming part of the non-LGV link between LGVs Rhin-Rhône and Sud-Est. It avoids conflicts with the ground level routes through the yards and is used by through TGVs between Besançon Franche-Comté TGV and Lyon if not calling at Dijon Ville.

TGV9580 Frankfurt am Main Hbf - 17:58 Besançon Franche-Comté TGV - Marseille St Charles
TGV9582 Marseille St Charles - 11:06 Chalon-sur-Saône - Frankfurt am Main Hbf

Note than any TGV services calling at Lons-le-Saunier do not use this route, nor do those between Nancy and Lyon via Marne la Vallée-Chessy.

Meursault (Bifurcation km 363,0) – Santenay-les-Bains (Chagny ex-Poste 4) via Chagny ex-Poste 3bis and Raccordement Nevers

[ERT 373, fiche Dijon-Autun-Etang-Nevers] (ERA 31C2; 78A2-B2) FR203

Used by trains between Dijon and the Montchanin branch unless scheduled to call at Chagny, which none are in the 2020 timetable. Standard services from Montchanin are fast to Dijon via this route and stopping to Chalon-sur-Saône via Chagny. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Meursault (Bifurcation km 363,0) – Chagny (west side platforms) via Chagny ex-Poste 3bis

(ERA 31C2; 78A2-B2) FR18/204

This route was used by trains between Dijon and the Montchanin branch when scheduled to call at Chagny, where they reversed in the west side platforms 4 or 5 (track A, B or C). There do not appear to have been any trains booked to take this route since December 2017.

Rully (Chagny (Poste 1)) – Chagny (west side platforms)

[ERT 373, fiche Montchanin-Chanlon] (ERA 31C2, not shown; 78B2, not shown) FR205

Used by through trains between Chalon sur Saône and the Montchanin branch, which call at Chagny in the west side platforms 4 or 5 (track A, B or C). Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Besançon-Franche-Comté TGV east curve

(ERA 31C3; 67D4) FR19/401

This curve was used by direct TGVs between Mulhouse and Besançon Viotte. There are no such services in the current timetable. This may be a temporary situation owing the the number of services being reduced whilst major engineering work is taking place at Lyon Part Dieu.

Trains between Besançon-Franche-Comté TGV station and Besançon Viotte use the west curve.


Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions

Raccordement de Saincaize (Nevers avoiding line): La Guerche-sur-l'Aubois – Saincaize

(ERA 31C1; 69B2) FR19/200

There are no regular services over this west to south curve but it is used for diversions when the line north of Nevers is blocked. The following train has been routed this way on some dates since February 2019, taking about 20 minutes longer and presumably routed via Les Aubrais. Look for days when the train calls at Saincaize instead of Nevers.

D Intercités 5990 Clermont-Ferrand - 20:32 Moulins-sur-Allier - Paris Bercy

Various IC trains between Paris and Clermont-Ferrand are scheduled to use this route on 22 & 23 February and 12 & 13, 26 & 27 September 2020, running via Bourges and calling at Saincaize instead of Nevers.
