Fiche 13,31,41 (ERA-E 28C2 not shown; ERA-R 73A2) FR25/401
This east to south curve links the high level (Angoulême) and low level (Saintes) lines north of Bordeaux.

All northbound trains from Platform 2S at Cenon (the eastern pair of lines) must use this curve. Trains departing from the high numbered platforms at Bordeaux are more likely to go this way.
A journey time of 24 or 25 minutes between Cenon and Libourne (rather than the usual 18 or 19) probably indicates use of this curve.
The compilers would greatly appreciate details of trains that currently use this route.
