It will not be possible to travel on the High Speed Line between Paris/Ile De France and the north of Avignon from 9 to 12 November 2024 inclusive, due to signalling modernisation work.

After 5 years of work with no impact on passenger traffic,  this major operation requires the complete closure of the line for 4 days.

    What to do if you experience a delay

    Please speak to staff on the train or at the station if you are delayed. They will have the most up to date information and can tell you what to do. Also, ask the staff to stamp your ticket with proof of delay. This will make it easier for you to travel on later trains.

    Keep all of your tickets until you return home. They can be used to submit a claim to the rail operator if you incur any unavoidable additional costs (new tickets, taxis).

    For more information, please see our Help article: What happens if I miss my connection.

    If you have tickets for onward travel on trains which are scheduled to run as normal, refunds and exchanges are only permitted as per fare conditions.
