jcraf Posted October 12, 2018 Share #201 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Having attempted this morning to get the funicular up to Fourviere that line, the F2, Is suspended until 17 October. I didn’t spot that on my trawl of Lyon resources on line. There is apparently a replacement bus service from St Just to Fouviere; the other funicular F1 to Minimes and St Just is running.

farnz Posted October 12, 2018 Share #203 Posted October 12, 2018 The nice lady at Info told me that the alternative way to get to Place Fourviere (for tomorrow evening) is to take the other funicular from the same Metro station (Sojerie Saint George's), get off at Mimimes and walk to Place de Fourviere, which takes 7 minutes and is across flat ground.

DD & CD I'm very sorry to hear this. Just to mention we are working on a Challenge out of the usual schedule on 4th May 2019. The ICE is currently eight minutes late. Means I have one minute left to catch the TGV... Stefan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete. I did get off at Minimes to have a look at the Roman amphitheatres and got the impression that Fourvieres is indeed quite close (qv the map, I guess) but I got the impression it is not quite a level walk. Additionally only one platform at Minimes has a lift. The service up and down uses alternative platforms in turn, so to speak, so that each of the 2 platforms serves an up and a down service in turn, if you get what I mean.....It caught me out, as it did a visiting nun, who I advised in pigeon French, only to realise that what I thought was the down platform was, for the next train in, the up one. Must be something to do with the vagaries of funicular railways. It could only happen to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
