Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_1.jpg (43361 bytes)

Eastern underground concourse in Genève-Cornavin.

• Foreground: stairs to Platform 3, where Track 5 accommodates RER traffic to/from La Plaine and Bellegarde (France). As this area is unrestricted (owing to Swiss internal traffic), Immigration and Customs checks are carried out on board, on a random basis;

• Background: "France" panel, which indicates entry to the French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), for all non-RER traffic to/from France. This area is restricted and cordouned off in the same style as Eurostar Terminals, with routine ground checks.

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_2.jpg (49686 bytes)

Eastern underground concourse in Genève-Cornavin.

Entry to the French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), for all non-RER traffic to/from France.

• Left: Departures to France;
• Right: Arrivals from France, doors closed, as entry is forbidden this way.

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_4.jpg (29069 bytes)

French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), for all non-RER traffic to/from France.

This is still the public area, with the Departures lanes, where passengers leaving Geneva to France go through Immigration and Customs checks.

Signs inform that doors open 30min ahead of any departure. In practice, these often remain open.

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_5.jpg (66762 bytes)

French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), for all non-RER traffic to/from France.

Entry to the restricted area (Departures lanes).
As in Eurostar terminals, passengers must have a valid ID document and ticket to go any further. But there is normally X-ray luggage check there, although such equipment is there, just in case...

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_6.jpg (29593 bytes)

Entry to the French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), still in the public area.

As various posters warn that Trains bound for France will LEAVE ON TIME and wait for late-comers under no circumstances, passengers are advised to show up AT LEAST 10MIN IN ADVANCE, so as to leave enough time for Customs and Immigration checks.

Then no wonder that at 7:05pm, there was already a lengthy queue for TGV 6584, leaving to Paris at 7:23pm...

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_7.jpg (46673 bytes)

French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8).

This is the passenger lounge, in the restricted area. One can spot the Arrival lanes in the background, where passengers arriving from France must go through Immigration and Customs checks.

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_8.jpg (41621 bytes)

French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), seen from Place de Montbrilland.

One can spot quite easily the passenger lounge (restricted area), beneath the tracks where TER 96562/3 was awaiting departure to Lyon-Perrache.

The whole of these dedicated facilities dates from 1984, and was built as an extension under the remodelling required by the construction of the Railair link.

Ge-Cornavin-SNCF_9.jpg (60885 bytes)

French sector (Platform 4, Tracks 7-8), seen from Platform 3.

This sector was built in 1984, as an extension under the remodelling required by the construction of the Railair link.

Hitherto, traffic to/from France had been accommodated at Platforms 2 and 3, in rather unsatisfactory conditions, as it was mixed with Swiss internal traffic.

The Class 72500 DMU on Track 7 was awaiting departure on TER 96624/3 to Valence-Ville (via Grenoble).

Tracks (East end) in Genève-Cornavin.

This pic was made from Platform 3, which, as Platforms 1 and 2 (further left), is dedicated to Swiss internal traffic.

Traffic to/from France is accommodated at Platform 4 (further right), where one can spot a Class 72500 DMU (Track 7).

Ge-Cornavin_b1.jpg (72445 bytes)

Tracks (West end) in Genève-Cornavin.

This pic was made from Platform 3, which, as Platforms 1 and 2 (further right), is dedicated to Swiss internal traffic.
This notwithstanding, Platform 3 is also served with this short, island track (No 5), which accommodates RER traffic (La Plaine and Bellegarde, France), and where a Bem 550 was awaiting departure.

Platform 4 (Tracks 7-8) stands further left, and accommodates non-RER traffic to/from France.

Whereas Tracks 1-4 are single-voltage (15kV 16.7Hz AC), all other tracks (5-8) are convertible (15kV 16.7Hz AC or 1.5kV DC).

Ge-Cornavin_b2.jpg (93220 bytes)

Tracks (West end) in Genève-Cornavin, looking towards the Airport, France and La Praille.

This pic was made from Platform 3, between tracks 5 and 6. Tracks 7-8 (Platform 4) stand further right, and accommodate non-RER traffic to/from France.

Whereas Tracks 1-4 (further left) are single-voltage (15kV 16.7Hz AC), all other tracks (5-8) are convertible (15kV 16.7Hz AC or 1.5kV DC).

Further behind, Traffic to/from France (RER and non-RER) then runs on the most right-hand track (1.5kV DC only). Traffic to/from the Airport uses the 2 middle tracks (15kV 16.7Hz AC only), whereas that to La Praille/Lancy-Rouge runs on the left-hand track (15kV 16.7Hz AC only).
