@quixoticgeek I think there might be engineering works. Will check

@quixoticgeek
@jon there is one using the "ligne de l'Aubrac" but it's closed for renovation until October (more info in French here: https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/auvergne-rhone-alpes/puy-de-dome/clermont-ferrand/train-de-l-aubrac-des-travaux-de-grande-ampleur-pour-redynamiser-la-liaison-entre-beziers-et-clermont-ferrand-2938692.html )

@jon @sukkoria boo :( that messes up my plans. Now to find an alternative scenic train journey. Currently need to fill the gap between Milan and Barcelona

@quixoticgeek @sukkoria Cote Bleu to Miramas? Nimes to Clermont instead?

@jon
@quixoticgeek maybe "le train jaune" could fit the bill https://letrainjaune.fr/en/ ?

@sukkoria it’s great! But maybe a bit off @quixoticgeek ‘s track? Although BCN to Latour de Carol with Rodalies is easy enough (beware @quixoticgeek - Rodalies in Catalunya isn’t in international timetables - best check Generalitat de Catalunya site)

@jon
@quixoticgeek it's marketed as a tourist attraction but runs like a TER, if I remember well

@sukkoria @quixoticgeek it does indeed. And it’s included in Interrail. I’ve not been on it for years, but plan to go there again at some point 🙂
