## About This Content
The high speed railways of France, dominated by the iconic TGV® Duplex, are
brought to life in the breathtaking new Ligne Grande Vitesse: Marseille Saint-
Charles to Avignon-TGV route for Train Simulator.

Construction of the LGV Mediterranee began in 1996, designed as a dedicated
high speed line that spans over 160 miles to connect the South-East of France
to the nation’s capital, Paris. The LGV Mediterranee extends from the end of
the LGV Rhone-Alpes in Valence and terminates at Marseille via Avignon and
Aix-en-Provence.
Opened in 2001, the LGV Mediterranee is operated by SNCF® with TGV Duplex high
speed trains, operating on the 25kV AC catenary system, capable of reaching
320 km/h. These revolutionary high speed trains slashed journey times to the
South coast of France with TGVs now handling the vast majority of all journeys
in France, covering some 750 km (470 miles) in around 3 hours – faster than
some domestic airlines.

The line serves a total of 4 stations, featuring three purpose-built
structures, the Gare de Valence TGV, a uniquely built multi-level station
allowing easy transfer between the high speed and local services, Gare
d’Avignon TGV, made popular by its close proximity to Avignon city centre and
Gare d’Aix-en-Provence TGV, allowing easy travel into the north of Marseille
and Marseille Airport, accessible by regular bus services. The final station
is Marseille-Saint-Charles – a terminus station previously built to serve the
surrounding area and the French Riviera, access to this station is via the
classic French main lines.

Due to the undulating nature of Southern France’s terrain, the LGV
Mediterranee features many steep inclines and declines, not to mention the
impressive number of vast cuttings, tunnels and viaducts that traverse the
landscape, the longest tunnel being over 8 km (5 Miles) long. Not only is the
outstanding scenery a wonder to behold, the LGV Med. regularly sees 300 – 320
km/h operation providing a fast, reliable service with the beautiful southern
France countryside flying past the upper and lower windows.

The route is equipped with the TVM430 (Transmission Voie-Machine) signalling
system, a revolutionary in-cab signalling system designed for operating high
speed trains in high capacity. Conventional signalling is not practical for
very high speed routes, as drivers have very little time to see and react to
what flies past the windscreen. TVM430 displays information in the cab telling
the driver what speed he should be travelling at, without the need for
conventional track-side equipment.
Included with the 100km Marseille to Avignon high speed route is the iconic
TGV Duplex in SNCF livery.
