SW France - TER Périgueux-Agen - Route Details

[MikeR]

Following a couple of messages about this route, I am attaching a MS Excel Sheet that gives the location of all the Stations on the route, so that they can be viewed on Google Earth.

I have also attached a link to my Flickr Album - very much a work in progress as Covid restrictions permit.

Thanks. I am not used to searching via lat and long and Googlemaps doesn't recognise the location, with or without the departement. What am I doing wrong, please?

A cheap and cheerful alternative is to locate one station via the search and select a suitable departure which will then show the route and all the stations.

PS It doesn't work for all countries

Rail21 has equivalent documents for many French lines. Enthusiast documents, not official ones, but a fantastic resource nonetheless.

An alternative that shows the place names on a schematic is here:

Ligne de Monsempron-Libos à Cahors — Wikipédia

fr.wikipedia.org

It is in French but will translate on Chrome easily. In the righthand box at the bottom you should see "Schéma de la ligne" click on the hyperlink in blue marked [afficher]and this will open/close the schematic.

I will get back to you on the references - I use them in that format on my GPS

Thank you for those links - very useful.

I have looked and it is clumsy. My GPS accepts the references as I have entered them but converting is tedious, sorry.

I have had another look at this and can't see an easy fix. As I said, I use that format because I can enter it straight into my Garmin Satnav and drive there. I live in SW France and most of the routes that I explore are disused but I use Google Earth to "fly" the route and pick up the co-ordinates of the Station buildings. Then, Covid permitting, I up load the co-ords to my Satnav and set off with my camera gear. I don't often use Google Maps and when I have, it is to enter an address. If I come up with a better solution, I will post it in due course.
