France Trains

France Trains posts cover the SNCF network and what it actually means for a traveller. Articles look at the TGV high-speed lines from Paris to Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Strasbourg, the slower TER regional services that reach small towns, the OUIGO budget brand on TGV routes, the night trains that have been partially restored, and the difference between a Carte Avantage discount and a buying-on-the-day fare. There are practical notes on the SNCF Connect app, on the rules around printed and mobile tickets, and on what happens at the gates of a Paris terminus station like Gare de Lyon.
