Train service suspended between Toulouse and Montauban

From November 21 to November 27, 2026, there will be no train service between Toulouse and Montauban due to planned railway construction. This means all trains on that route will be halted for nearly six days, affecting both local commuters and long-distance travelers.

Disruption details and affected stations

The railway closure will be in effect from November 21 at 0:10 to November 27 at 5:40. This includes key stations such as Toulouse-Matabiau and Montauban-Ville-Bourbon, as well as intermediate stops like Saint-Jory and Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds. Travelers using these stations should plan accordingly.

Additional disruption in Bordeaux area

At the same time, another section of the railway network will be affected south of Bordeaux. The Bordeaux–Langon sector will also be closed from November 21 to November 26. This means that travelers making end-to-end journeys through both regions must check their routes carefully.

Reason for the disruption and future improvements

The closures are part of a larger development project aimed at improving the railway network in the Southwest of France. Work includes upgrading platforms, installing new equipment, and constructing an underground passage in the Toulouse neighborhood of La Vache. These projects are intended to increase the line's capacity and prepare for future urban transport connections.

Planning for travel during the disruption

Passengers are advised to check their tickets and schedules for any changes, as well as look for temporary regional train schedules and possible replacement solutions on SNCF’s website or app. Replacement buses may be available, but their routes and schedules vary and should not be assumed for all affected routes.

Future interruptions and ongoing work

A new disruption is scheduled for December 5 and 6, 2026, in the same Southwest work areas. Travelers planning trips during this time should check their routes again, even if they have already adjusted their plans for the November closure.
