    It is now 180 km 110 mi because of the 2013 completed section Barcelona Girona Figueres. If made it should be LGV Catalonia Languedoc Roussilon Barcelona Perpignan.
    Your 08:06 trips from Marseille St Charles is now the AVE S100 to Barcelona via Aix En Provence Avignon Perpignan.

    I'll bump that, anything to add in more TGV stock. The TGV-A, R. & Sud-Est are icons and hands down more handsome than the Duplex any day IMO. Even the Réseau Duplex would add much needed variety to the existing Méditerranée line.

    While it's more Duplex power cars, it is nice to see official HD renditions of existing liveries. Though the PBKA with single deck carriages looks pretty good. The more the merrier.

    I agree and that will change both HRR & SKA with the Paris Nord-Dortmund TGV services being playable on both routes

    I mean if we could also work in the BB 15000 in there, that would be the cherry on top. Though I don't think any of them work near the DB.
