Is there no longer a direct TGV or Frecciarossa service between Lyon and Turin? 😳 @jon do you happen to know what’s up there?

@julienmarchal Landslide blocked the track near Modane - already autumn of last year. Stabilising the mountain is complicated. It might reopen from this autumn.

@jon oh right!! Completely forgot 🫣 thanks for refreshing my mind :) fingers crossed for this automn, then!
Do you happen to remember how long the quickest direkt service took between the two cities?

@julienmarchal Only Trenitalia ran direct. It wasn't fast though, probably 4 hours Lyon-Turin, and 4.30 or 4.45 to Milano.

@jon thanks again :) yeah 👍
I was just doing quick maths here on a potential future Paris-Rome direct high speed service. 7,5hrs should be feasible for those 1430km… it takes 1,45hrs to make Paris-Lyon and it takes 4,15hrs for Turin-Rome. If the new tunnel Lyon-Turin enables a connection in 1,5hrs for those 300kms, which seems feasible according to what project announces - then this would be quite the amazing journey to do and a hell of a high speed connection!

@julienmarchal That high speed project though... Improving the connection to the tunnel, French side, is turning into a damned nightmare. You also need to double track St André le Gaz - Chambéry.
