Rappel que les #TGV n'offrent que 4 places vélos, donc, déjà, si tu voyages à 5, tu oublies. Si tu voyages à 4, t'as intérêt à te lever tôt (pour cet été c'est déjà râpé, globalement).

Pour moi, le car macron, c'est par dépit. J'aurais vraiment préféré faire tout en train. Mais cet été ça va nous permettre d'aller rouler à l'étranger sans passer toutes nos vacs dans les transports.

"Nous prions aux voyageurs souhaitant utiliser leurs téléphones portables de bien vouloir passer leurs appels depuis les plateformes afin que les banales histoires de famille ne soient pas divulguées aux autres passagers." 🥰 Il a trop d'humour pour 6h du matin, ce mec, mais je l'adore. #SNCF #Interrail #TGV

The train arrives. It’s a double decker inOui #TGV. I love Trains à Grande Vitesse. Ever since I picked up a 00 gauge model of an orange one, back in the late ‘80s in Versaille. That’s how I learned the French word for second hand. It’s “occasion”. 6/n

The Paris-Milan train resumes service 19 months after interruption.

After a 19-month interruption due to a landslide in the Maurienne Valley in the French Alps, the rail link between Paris and Milan resumed Monday morning.

The first two TGV trains left the Gare de Lyon in Paris for Milan at 6:46 and then at 9:46, taking just over seven hours to reach the Lombard capital, passing through Macon, Chambéry, Modane, Oulx and Turin.

#CrossChannelRail : #Grenoble - #Lyon - #Lille - #Londres - #Leeds - #Harrogate

Day 1, second train: #TGV #Montpellier - #Brussels

💺 busy
🛜 😐
🧽 🆗
🧳 block doors
🔌 🆗 but not next to me (aisle)

Next I'm staying overnight in #Lille. I need to be in #Harrogate midday tomorrow. #Flying from Lyon or #Geneva wouldn't have been better: starting from #Grenoble, not doable in a half day, so I'd have started today too and have had to stay in a more expensive hotel at destination tonight.

Another case for this point:
For their new TGV M ( euronews.com/travel/2025/03/13 ) they made their "restaurant car" self service. Seriously, what even is the point here? Just go all the way like the Japanese Shinkansen and sell quality stuff on the platform. Then you can use the carriage space for passengers.

Also: FFS, drop the bi-level shit. It's annoying with any reasonable amount of luggage.

Das müssten zwei Premieren sein: 🧐

An Sommersamstagen neu: #TGV 5531-5532 #Strasbourg 🇫🇷 <> #Perpignan (in der Gegenrichtung an So).
Das gab es als Direktverbindung zuletzt 2016 als Nachtzug Strasbourg - Port Bou.

und an Sa+So im Sommer: TGV 5491-5492 Strasbourg - #LaRochelle. Das gab es als Direktverbindung wenn überhaupt jemals, dann schon sehr lange nicht mehr. Ein bestehender TGV Strasbourg<>Nantes wird dabei zum Flügelzug bis St-Pierre-des-Corps.
