North end of Pasilly Jct, on LGV PSE (LN1, Combs la Ville<->Sathonay), seen looking Southwards.

At this stage, TGV/Lyria traffic from Burgundy, Franche-Comté and Switzerland (Via Vallorbe or Les Verrières) joins the HSL (main tracks) at 270km/h, using the Aisy-Pasilly chord ("Up" track, from the PLM conventional line), which one can spot further right.

Traffic from Lyons, Geneva, the Alps, the Med and Italy (via Modane) conversely runs at 300km/h on the "Up" Main track.
