Excerpt from Wikipedia

The LGV Interconnexion Est is a short French high-speed rail line that connects the LGV Nord and LGV Sud-Est through suburbs of Paris. Opened in 1994, it consists of three branches, which begin at Coubert:

  • west branch: towards Paris and western France, terminating at Valenton
  • north branch: towards northern France, London and Brussels, joining the LGV Nord at Vémars
  • south branch: towards southeastern France, joining the LGV Sud-Est at Moisenay

The south and west branches are now shared with the LGV Sud-Est line.

Maximum line-speed throughout is 300km/h (186mph) although nearly all services call at Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV and Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy in which, of course, speed is gradually reduced to allow trains to stop at each station.

Route

Starting from the south (LGV Sud-Est or LGV Atlantique), the line begins at Coubert junction and heads northeast. Near Tournan, there is a link to the Paris-Coulommiers line. Further north, Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station (transfer to the RER A) serves the new town of Marne-la-Vallée and Disneyland Paris theme parks. Near Claye-Souilly, two links under construction will join the line to the LGV Est. The route next serves Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station (transfer to the RER B and air transport). Shortly thereafter, the line joins the LGV Nord at Vémars junction.

Journey times

  • Lille-Roissy CDG 0:50
  • London - Marne-la-Vallee - Chessy (for Disneyland Paris) 2:43
  • Lille-Lyon 2:50
  • Lille-Nantes 3:50
  • Lille-Grenoble 4:25
  • Lille-Marseille 4:30
  • Lille-Bordeaux 5:00
  • Brussels-Lyon 3:40
  • Brussels-Marseilles 5:25
  • Brussels-Valence 4:30
  • Brussels-Rennes 4:50
  • Brussels-Montpellier 5:40

Expansion

  • The construction of a suburban line along the LGV between Villeparisis and Vémars is under consideration. This project could have two possible purposes: to serve Roissy airport from Paris (as an alternative to the CDG Express); or to be the beginning of a western line linking Creil to Meaux, Marne-la-Vallée and Melun.
  • It has also been proposed to complement the Interconnexion Est with an LGV Interconnexion Sud or LGV Interconnexion Ouest.
  • In November 2010, RFF began formal studies of a link from the Interconnexion Est to the Paris - Creil - Amiens line.
