Malaga, Massy, Igny, Jouy-en-Josas, Montgeron Crosne

After a short visit in Spain, I'm on my way back through Paris once again.
In Spain I have a chance to spot this creature

Somewhere in Andalucia

Following day I'm in Paris
Today I'm not taking RER train but the TGV
Yes, I'm taking TGV but I'm not leaving the greater Paris area
TGV 12504 to Rennes

On the way to Rennes the train will stop in Massy, south of Paris - that is where I'm going
The TGV from CDG airport to Massy is just a little bit faster (49 min) than RER train (1h 17min). This is because the train is not traveling with TGV speed in Paris
Massy TGV station


Massy TGV station opened in 1991 and it is located near Massy Palaiseau RER station

There are 3 RER lines connected here: B, C and V
Class Z 5600 is operating the line

Arriving to Igny station

This line is part of the Great Paris ring
Each station is decorated with local sights
The line is very short

The line has some other traffic than just the RER trains

Ouigo Classique from Rennes






SNCF Class BB 7200, 1.5kV only



This shorts RER line has only 7 stops

No freight trains today, but here is a  Class 27000

Back at Massy, the continuation from Massy to Epinay-sur-Orge is served by the tram line, where the trams are using the railway line

Ouigo to Nantes and Rennes
At Épinay-sur-Orge, I'm changing to the RER C line
