I'm attempting to get train information for a day trip from Marseille (St. Charles) to Aix (Ville Centre) while we're in port. I read previously that the train station in Marseille was down due to construction. Is that still the case? Each train site I look at won't give me times or prices. I don't want to go into the TGV station, as I don't think there's enough time. Thanks!

The train station is up, but you won't find times and prices beyond December this year, there are regular engineering works between Marseille and Aix, and in any case the train is not the best way to go between the two cities. You're much better off taking the bus :
- On a weekday, L49 that goes from near the cruise port (Arenc-Le Silo) to Aix. 1-2 bus per hour, taking 25-40 minutes.
- On a weekend, L49 doesn't run, you have to take L50 from Gare Saint Charles in Marseille. Extremely frequent.
The trains are slower and less frequent.
