Several high speed train stations have been established recently on the outskirts of French urban areas in order to minimize travel time and enhance railway profitability. Even though they allow for interconnexions between several transportation modes, they seem to offer a much lower degree of nodality within the railway network than older central city stations. However, their nodal role should be gauged in terms of function rather than physical infrastructure. Relational capacities of the stations were estimated using topologic direct accessibility graphs and morphological nodality ratings. The network patterns of their rail links allow us to identify several kinds of stations according to their functions: from simple halting points devoid of any nodality to major national railway nodes.
