From 15th September to 12th December 2025, all train traffic between Nice and Ventimiglia will be halted Monday to Thursday nights from 10pm to 6am due to rock wall works. SNCF is deploying a road substitution service in Monaco, while ZOU! Bus access remains available to qualifying subscribers.

SNCF Réseau has confirmed that from 15th September through 12th December 2025, no night-time trains will operate between Nice and Ventimiglia between 10pm and 6am, Monday through Thursday nights. The disruption is part of a scheduled rock wall reinforcement project located between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Ventimiglia. While regular services will resume during the day, late-night and early-morning travellers are advised to rely on alternative transport.

Monaco–Nice and Monaco–Menton bus links confirmed

To accommodate passengers during the works, a road substitution service will be put in place. In Monaco, buses will depart from the landing stage (minute drop-off) of Monaco-Monte-Carlo station. These substitute services are clearly identified on the Line 04 schedule sheet, which SNCF urges passengers to consult in advance.

In addition, ZOU! Bus services are available to holders of a ZOU! Train Subscriber Work Pass. These passengers may use the ZOU! Noctambus Line 601, running between Monaco and Nice from 10pm, Monday to Thursday, starting 1st September. Also available is a special early-morning ZOU! 600 bus from Menton (5:50am) to Monaco (6:15am), operating Tuesday to Friday from 15th September.
