Villefranche-sur-Mer Travel Forum

I'm trying to find out about trains between villefranche and Nice but the SNCF/TER website doesn't seem to understand me. Is it posssible to do this trip? Where can I find out about timetables?

Real Time arrivals board for Nice Ville is here

Villefranche - Nice is two stops - 10 minutes, for trains originating from Vintimille or Menton

The TER website is here - put in start and finish stations, date and time of travel and Bob's your auntie

French websites can be a little flaky and the usual assumption is that you speak French (but slowly they are providing translations in English and Italian)

There are usually two or three an hour, though they are not infrequently the subject of delays (Retarde) when not on strike, or a catastrophe has closed the network. Other than that they are pretty reliable.
