LGV Interconnexion Est

|}The LGV Interconnexion Est is a French high-speed rail line that connects the LGV Nord and LGV Sud-Est through the Île de France. Opened in 1994, it consists of three branches, which begin at Coubert:

• west branch: towards Paris and western France, terminating at Valenton
• north branch: towards northern France, London and Brussels, joining the LGV Nord at Vémars
• south branch: towards southeastern France, joining the LGV Sud-Est at Moisenay

The south and west branches are now shared with the LGV Sud-Est line.

Route

Starting from the south (LGV Sud-Est or LGV Atlantique), the line begins at Coubert junction and heads northeast. Near Tournan, there is a link to the Paris-Coulommiers line. Further north, Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station (transfer to the RER A) serves the new town of Marne-la-Vallée and Disneyland Paris theme parks. Near Claye-Souilly, two links under construction will join the line to the LGV Est. The route next serves Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station (transfer to the RER B and air transport). Shortly thereafter, the line joins the LGV Nord at Vémars junction.
