Greetings..
Tried to book a TGV seat reservation through the myrst site today and they said that these are no longer available in the UK and to try an SNCF bookings line... This seems a bit poor :
- hard to imagine how long one would have to sit on the phone burning euros at the moment, given it's likely to be a fraught few days even if the strike gradually eases off
- if I turn up on spec at G d Lyon and there is no seat available, it's a little tricky to manage hotel bookings at the far end of the country.
Has anyone any experience of :
- using the sncf number
- short notice TGV seat reservation at GdL
- any other 'backdoor' solutions???
I had a quick look at the ouigo fares, but at €70 each way, I'm quite keen to keep using the FIP facility...
Many thanks,
D.
