    The Perpignan-Figueras high-speed line is an international rail line that connects France and Spain, connecting the Spanish high-speed network with the French rail network.
    It has a total length of 44.4 kilometers: 24.6 in France and 19.8 in Spain.1 The route runs from the Figueras-Vilafant Station —where it connects with the Madrid-Zaragoza high-speed line (LAV) -Barcelona-French border-, to the city of Perpignan, where it connects with the French conventional rail network to Montpellier. The line includes an 8.3 kilometer tunnel, the Pertús tunnel, which crosses the Pyrenees under the border.
    It is the only Spain-France railway connection that does not require a gauge change or transshipment. tsw.jpg

    The duplex TGV, which is the one we are going to get on the next French route.

    I think the road map can reach 60-80 miles.

    That would be a great idea! the issue is that there aren't any cab rides of that line unfortunately. Also, it runs on ETCS, and I haven't seen any existing line developed by Dovetail with that system, so I don't think it's going to be easy to make that happen.

    Well, they can do Madrid-Seville then, as it has LZB :D. But ERTMS would be equivalent to what they already have with LZB in game, as it works similar, with target speeds and target distances. Indeed they can use the existing displays from some german locomotives as they are following the CENELEC layout that ERTMS has on its displays. They just need to add a vertical target distance on the left and the target speed corona in the speedometer. They already had used those features even in the old Train Simulator displays for LZB some years ago if I´m not wrong, so they can reuse the algorithms.

    This is how ERTMS typically looks like. It´s yellow when inside the braking curve, but normally it´s clear grey. The left bar is the target distance to the target speed limit. The area on the right shows distances to gradients, speed restrictions and other things like tunnels or bridges, and the small 0 with the flag on top of right side is the position of your current end of authority. All that data (except bridges and so on) is available for either game HUD or for LZB now in game. But they can remove the tunnels and bridges, as they are not really relevant for us.

    DTG would be a pass to include it to Barcelona, apart from being able to use new material and new systems to learn.

    This needs to be done and if you own LGV Mediterranean line Avignon-Marsellie and this one. you might see a Spanish S100 parked in Marseille Saint Charles station the pop-up screen will say do you wish to take over this service Yes or no. If you choose yes what will happen is this after the Provence TGV station the game will load up Perpignan-Barcelona High Speed line which combines the segment mentioned here Perpignan-Figueres and Barcelona-Girona-Figueres.

    I agree and if you own this one and LGV Mediterranean Line Avignon Marseille. You might find a Renfe AVE S100 at one platform in Marseille or Provence if you walk up to it from the passenger mode. You should get a popup screen do you like to take over this S100 service to Barcelona Yes or No. If yes you're going to load up both LGV Mediterranean Line Marseille to Provence right up to the junction where LGV Nimes-Perpignan starts then the LGV Perpignan Barcelona loads up for you. By the way, the S100 departs Marseille for Madrid via Perpignan-Barcelona at 08:06. This method bypasses the main menu if you want to load LGV Perpignan-Barcelona from LGV Mediterranean Line. Assuming that Dovetail Games implemented a feature of Joined DLCs in Train Sim World.
