Not good.

3 hours to go about 90 miles? Sounds like Amtrak! :giggle:

I have been on that line. It is a twisty turny mountain line, and a pretty ride. Something to do if you have a spare day at Nice, after you have got your fill of Cannes and Monaco. Turns out Nice is a popular location for holding standards meetings, so those of us involved standards work have spent many weeks of our lives in Nice.
