I believe so but you’ll need a reservation

Thanks

Thanks

They are as long as the train you intend to catch isn't a Ouigo.

If it's a TGV (sometimes known as Inoui) then you still need a compulsory reservation

 

[Dexy]

Yeah it’s TGV I’m getting went through a company to book reservations for 3 of us cost £73

That sounds expensive. Most TGVs are £1.50 for people using coupons. Occasionally you may be charged £9 per person

TGV reservations are always €10, or €20 if all the €10 seats are taken. InterCité trains marked as compulsory reservation are the same. Those with recommended reservation would be €1.50.

Yes, only TGV and Inoui thought. Eurostar and Thalys services on the route don't accept domestic passengers, and Ouigo doesn't accept FIP.

That is incorrect. The ten and twenty euro prices apply to Interrail/Eurail and NOT FIP.

Because I’m safeguarded staff I managed to get Eurostar for £160 for three passengers London to Lille, then getting coupons for trip Lille to Eurodisney costing £72 for the reservations (does sound expensive) but was worried the coupons wouldn’t be valid on TVG but looking at the answers looks like I should be ok

Where did you buy the tickets from ?

 

[Dexy]

Bought them from Ffestiniog travel I know they charge 12% commission

Hi, could somebody help please. Me and husband both have coupons for SNCF. We want to travel from Lille to Strasbourg. We will have to use a TGV INOUI train. Can someone please tell me how much the reservations should be? Would they be €10/20 or would they only be €1.50.

FIP reservations on Intercities and TGVs (in your case) are nearly always 1.70e (it’s gone up slightly recently), there’s a few cases where you have to pay more but those are rare.

Thank you for your response! Just super confused, because online I’m seeing the reservation fee is either €10 or €20. And the one agent I have asked, has also given a price along those lines (with commission added on of course).
Should I just call SNCF directly and ask to book a reservation? Or should I just book on the day in France at the station. Worried incase the train is ‘full’ and it’s the last train of the day we can take..

That’s because online you are seeing the Interrail Reservation Fee which is always the 10e/20e - you cannot get FIP Coupon Reservations online.

Call SNCF on 00 33 1 84 94 36 35
Press #85 and you will get the English service and they should be able to make the reservations for you. They should be 1.70e each.

Thank you!! I will give them a call later today. Do you also know if I would have to pay the Global Fare for Strasbourg to Brussels? It is a direct TGV train. I have SNCF and SNCB coupons so not sure if these plus a seat reservation would cover the journey. Or would I need to purchase a Global Fare ticket as it is crossing a border?

My experience in the past has been that on a cross border service a global fare had to be bought.

 

[sumtrain]

@Haywain Thank you! Do you know roughly how much that would be?

I'm afraid I have no idea. The one occasion I encountered it was travelling from Basel to Paris, and I instead took a local train across the border (OK with the pass as it departed from the SNCF part of the station) and joined the TGV at the next stop.

I’m not to sure on Global Fares I’m afraid, hopefully they can help!

Just a suggestion-do not want to mingle in this-just happened to hit it. For Strb->Bru take the old route, change at least Luxembourg, NO reservations needed and LUX is free anyway, this would hence be covered by your staff-FIP-passes.
The aimed at very few EU-burocrats (who else?) direct TGV must take an enormous way around-along Paris-LIlle, so time savings are not that big, but check yourself. But quickest time via LUX would still be some 5-6 hrs. But even the fastest direct TGV would take some 4hrs, I think.

Are cross border services covered in the way you suggest? I'm not sure that FIP passes normally cover cross-border services beyond the last stop in the relevant country.

This cost makes me wonder if you have been charged for Priv Rate tickets rather than reservation with coupon.
