TGV Ligne de Coeur

thingiverse

The tri-current trains (110 to 118) were assigned to the joint subsidiary created by SNCF and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), for operating Franco-Swiss relations under the name Lyria — formerly known as "Ligne de Coeur". Two of them (112 and 114) were owned by SBB (with their logo displayed on the sides of the locomotives). At the December 2012 service change, all these trains stopped running (before being retired) and were replaced by POS trains (which themselves were later replaced, on the LGV Est European line, by TGV 2N2 at the same time), with all now assigned to Lyria. Here are the main assignments of South-East tri-current trains during their career, in direction or origin from Switzerland: The trains took the classic Paris – Marseille line to leave Paris, then the LGV Sud-Est until the Pasilly junction. Their route continued on the aforementioned classic line to Dijon. They then continued on the Dijon – Vallorbe line to the Swiss border, then completed their journey to Lausanne on the Lausanne – Vallorbe line. The TGV winter trains climbed the Rhone Valley to Brigue, on the Simplon line. There were several daily relations between Paris and Lausanne, while TGV winter trains were extended on weekends to the Valais (for skiers). A new offer was added during the summer regarding the same relation in lower Valais, also on weekends. The line is the termination of relations Paris – Frasne – Pontarlier, up to Bern and Zurich.
