Tracks, seen looking towards Spain. This pic was made from Platform 3, currently confined to TER traffic to/from Villefranche-Vernet les Bains (for "Le Train Jaune").
One can notice the dual-track line to Cerbčre and Portbou (left) and the single track diverging to Villefranche (right), off which the HSL will branch 6km further, in Le Soler.
Under the Perpignan-Figueres HSL project, this area is to be substantially remodelled, so that TGV-AVE services can enter the Villefranche line at 60km/h instead of 30km/h.
Perpignan (Perpinyŕ).
