🇫🇷 Toulouse Matabiau

Major

France

Toulouse Matabiau handles the rail traffic of the fourth-largest city in France and the centre of the country's aerospace industry, under UIC code 8761100. Intercités and TGV services connect the station with Paris, Bordeaux, and Montpellier, and a dense TER network reaches across Occitanie and into the Pyrenean foothills. The station is the intended southern anchor of the planned high-speed line towards Bordeaux, a project that would substantially shorten journey times to Paris, and it is undergoing a long-term expansion in anticipation of that traffic. Matabiau sits beside the Canal du Midi at about 43.61° N, 1.45° E, a short walk north-east of the city centre. Departures follow Europe/Paris time on France's 1,435 mm standard-gauge network.
