Hail all! Long time no post, again! <D
After an eternity of "When I get a Round Tuit", I'm finally set to get some French LGV bashing in next month! 8-)

As I'm on a budget (And actually prefer the "Ryanair way" on things) I've booked myself a Ouigo bash between Marne la Vallee and Avignon on the 14th Nov, returning same day after a brief stop at the latter. I'm already aware that "Paris" is not Paris (Thank Odin for RER C!) and "Avignon TGV" is most likely nowhere near Avignon centre-ville, but this one's purely for the speed and the sights of l'LGV sud-est...To say nothing of it being my first French rail bash not featuring Eurostar in some way! ;)

Anyhow: What I wanted to know is:
  • If anyone had access to WTT-like data for Ouigo trains 6257 and 6292 on that date, as I'd like to be able to sort out an appropriate playlist designed to catch the faster bits at their be(a)st. I've already tried searching for this myself, but it seems as if Ouigo trains don't appear on any timetables or departure boards outside of the Ouigo site itself.
    (I mainly need intermediate stops and their scheduled arrival/departure times, but pass points and times might be useful too if SNCF use them. :) )
    .
  • Am I right in assuming that the stock for 6257 reverses at Avignon or further south and becomes 6292 for the run back to Paris? Not good for unit coverage I know...But if I get a good 'un going down, it'd be ace to know that I'd be on the same consist going back! <D
    .
  • What are Ouigo like when it comes to passengers who prefer to stand in the vestibule as opposed to using their booked seat? I know it's a feature unique to myself, but I much prefer the former (With my music; Damned essential if they book me in a quiet coach!) and this'd especially apply with the TGVs floor being much closer to rail-head (And thus faster in perception) than on any UK stock. :)
    .
  • Addendum: Milepost data for the LGV Sud-Est might also be extremely handy, if it's readily available. 8-)
Farewell for now, and many thanks once again for any gen that can be offered! <D

I think you'll find it's RER Line A for Marne La Vallee isn't it?

Hmm...I'd better check it when I can, then. I'm pretty positive that it was RER-C last time I went to Eurodisney and Paris (On separate trips)...But then again that was back in the late 90s. The line letters could easily have been swapped around since then. :)

The above thought still didn't stop me getting caught out by seeing a U3 to Wandsbek Gartenstadt when I was last in Hamburg! :lol: :razz:

Marne la Vallée is most certainly RER A - the line splits at Vincennes, with the other branch going to Boissy Saint-Leger. The MLV branch has more trains, (or at least that is how it feels like to us Boissy branch commuters!)
