Hi,
Does anyone know what is happening with the Montpellier - Nimes Contournement (Bypass)? This supposedly came into service in late 2019 and was intended to save 20 minutes on the Paris - Perpignan line.
However, when I check Paris-Barcelona journey times, they seem to be getting slower and slower! At launch they managed 6 hr 15 min, which then rose to 6 hr 23 mins, and recently 6 hr 41 mins. In theory that line should be < 6 hours by now, but seems to be going in the opposite direction..
