Litttle yellow train

[Shoop]

Planning a trip on the little yellow train on my next visit(july 13th-20th) picked up a flyer that maps the route but doesn,t give a timetable, understand you can,t buy tickets on line, looking for any tips on what time to arrive, stop off points etc anything really that would be of help...........................thanks for any responses

Just be aware that the line goes up to over 1500m (4700ft).  It may be 34 degtrees in Perpignan and 12 degrees at the top - although not by any means always.  And if the sun is shining, you will get suburnt  very much more quickly - so lots of sun lotion.

 

Enjoy

I'll report back how I got on but I think it will be a little late for you as we will both be down there at the same time.

I think Andy's advice is pretty useful as he's actually done the ride, thanks Andy.
