Train connections... tight?

jirit said:

I have not made this specific trip but it is not that unusual to see a tight connection like this. In some cases I have jumped off one train on to another all within 5 minutes.

Best thing is to figure out on what track you will be arriving on and then what track you are departing on at Firminy. If it a small station more than likely it is the same track, or alternatively you will arrive on track 1 and depart on track 2.

Edited: I took the trouble of looking up this route and I discovered the last segment of this route is by bus. This means the bus is probably just outside the station itself and looking at Google it is a relatively small station. The connection is actually 11 minutes, so you should be fine.

Do you have the exact dates on when you plan to travel?

We're (Helen & I) travelling Lyon-Firminy-Le Puy a few days later (17th) we have 10 minutes. I haven't travelled this route before but on similar routes in France have found that the bus is waiting outside the station for you, so don't think there will be a problem.
We're not on the 16:24h from Lyon Part Dieu, but on the 12:06h, which gets to Firminy in about an hour.
We'll be interested in any posts you make during the walk.
Bon Chemin
Colin
