[ERT 300] (ERA 28B3, not shown correctly - see this schematic plan instead) FR725
These two links north of Angoulême between LGV SEA and the 'classic' line, which came into service 2 July 2017 are about 7.25km apart but function as a single grade separated junction. They are normally used by TGVs serving Angoulême.
Raccordement de la Grave: St.Loubès (La Grave d'Ambarès Supérieure) – Ste.Eulalie-Carbon-Blanc (Bifurcation de la Grave)
(ERA 28C2 not shown ) FR19/50
An east to south curve linking the high level (Angoulême) and low level (Saintes) lines. In the past this curve was used by late evening trains southbound to Bordeaux and by early morning and late evening ones northbound from Bordeaux. This pattern probably still applies but details of individual trains are no longer available to the compilers.
