Raccordement de Connérré Fret

This east-west connection, east of Le Mans, links the classic Paris - Brest main line with the LGV avoiding Le Mans. Its purpose is to enable freight traffic to bypass Le Mans.

It has no booked passenger service and the only use that might possibly be envisaged would be diversions in the event of a complete blockade of Le Mans. Note that trains using it would have to be capable of running on the LGV, so any use would be extremely rare.

Raccordement de La Milesse Fret

This east-north west connection, north of Le Mans, links the LGV avoiding Le Mans with the classic Paris - Brest main line. Its purpose is to enable freight traffic to bypass Le Mans.

It has no booked passenger service and the only use that might possibly be envisaged would be diversions in the event of a complete blockade of Le Mans. Note that trains using it would have to be capable of running on the LGV, so any use would be extremely rare.
