Sorgues Châteauneuf du Pape, Bédarrides, Courthézon, Bollène la Croisière, Donzère

From Avignon I will be heading north in the direction of Lyon

Finally Avignon has got its own tram line
The fast TER to Lyon from Avignon Centre. The even faster service would be from Avignon TGV station

This note is not correct
Freight trains are bypassing the station
I'm traveling along PLM Imperial line, and for the first time at this part just north of Avignon
Sorgues Châteauneuf du Pape

Freight trains are arriving this morning from the north

37523, Europorte


And now a train heading north
