Can you please provide a train number that goes from BCN to Montpellier that isn't an SNCF TGV Euroduplex?
I have been on an Intercités de Nuit from Paris to BCN (Estació de França), going through the gauge changing building at Portbou. Alas, that service was deleted when the TGV became homologated for cross-border service around 2013, and AFAIK there is no further passenger traffic which uses it.

Damn you’re right, the track to Barcelona is now high speed standard gauge. I used to go from Montpellier to Spain very regularly in the late 2000s, the choice was then between a variable-gauge Talgo, or a change at Figueres.
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoYep, there just isn't the demand for slow service when the TGV is just that much better. I look forward to the continuing return of night trains in Europe, though!
