Raccordement de Folligny: Bifurcation km 74,0 – Bifurcation km 74,9

[ERT 272, fiche Caen-St Lo-Coutances-Granville-Rennes] (ERA-E 27A1; ERA-R 69A4; S+W 26C2) FR25/150

This curve provides a direct connection between Coutances and Granville. Since 9 December 2018 all trains south of Coutances take this curve and call at Granville, rather than using the former route to Folligny which now has no service.

Gisors – Sommery (Bif. des Bruyères) via the Raccordement de Serqueux

[ERT 270, fiche Paris-Rouen-Le Havre] (ERA-E 26C4 - 27A4; ERA-R 70B5; S+W 14B4 - 14A1) FR25/151

Trains between Paris and Rouen may be diverted via the Gisors - Serqueux line and the Raccordement de Serqueux {Forges-les-Eaux (Bif. des Potiers) – Sommery (Bif. des Bruyères)} when there is engineering work on the main line. This is indicated by an extended journey time of about 2 hrs 30 mins. Trains with a journey time of around 2 hrs 15 minutes may still use this route but anything less probably indicates diversion between Mantes-la-Jolie, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine and Argenteuil.
