  Nimes - Marseille TGV standard  

You've been rostered to take the TGV service from Nimes to Marseille, coping with all the usual mixture of traffic. There 0945 TGV service is ahead of you and it's running direct to Marseille so it shouldn't hold you up with any yellows.

Trainset, locomotives and other rolling stock used in this activity is taken from Wolfgang Plenz's TGV activity series.

Now a technical note. webTrainSim was hoping he'd be able to set up oncoming TGV traffic with trains departing Marseille every seven minutes or so. Then there'd be plenty of oncoming traffic, mixed in with other traffic at Nimes and on arrival at Marseille.

However the Activity Editor train controller/dispatcher doesn't seem to want to run the TGVs at 300 kmh. For example, to get the first meet with a TGV that departs Marseille, the departure time for this train has to be set at 0800, two hours before the player train departs Nimes and well outside the theoretical Marseille-Nimes elapsed time of 50 minutes. Even then this meet doesn't occur until about 1025. This feature/bug has been mentioned on the Train-sim message board and there doesn't appear to be a solution (even raising the peformance value to 90 or so for an AI service has no affect).
