Raccordement de Narbonne: Lézignan (Bifurcation Raccordement Nord) – Port La Nouvelle (Bifurcation Sud)

[ERT 13] (ERA-E 29B5; ERA-R 79A3) FR22/500

This west to south curve avoiding Narbonne was previously used by an overnight train pair between Paris Austerlitz and Port Bou via Toulouse, but these now reverse and call at Narbonne. A RENFE train pair between Barcelona and Toulouse was suspended in 2019, because of Covid, and formally abandoned in December 2021.

Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions

(ERA-E 32B2-33A2; ERA-R 75C2-79B4)
