Useful tips for train travellers
• On your train trip, consider this: Trenitalia and SNCF are the primary operators. Trenitalia offers a catering service that includes snack carts offering sandwiches, pastries, and drinks if you are on a regional service. Make sure to check if you are traveling on a Frecciarossa or TGV train, as they might offer more extensive dining options at your seat.
• The seating options vary depending on the train operator. Trenitalia provides Standard (Economy) and Premium (Business) Class, whilst SNCF offers 2nde Classe (Economy) and 1ère Classe (First Class). For a comfortable journey with additional amenities like larger seats and quieter environments, consider booking Premium or First Class.
• Upon arrival at Lyon Part-Dieu station, expect a bustling atmosphere. There is a luggage storage service available in the station where you can leave your bags securely. The station is equipped with restrooms, but note that showers may not be available. To navigate easily, look for the clearly marked signs for both the luggage service and transit options.
