  TGV from Nice to Marseilles | Mark r. | 2019/04/02
  "We recently travelled second class on the TGV from Nice to Marseilles St Charles. The train was clean and tidy, although someone in another section found a spilled drink under their folding table (Nice surprise). The scenery on this trip is brilliant as the train passes along the cote d'azure. The one let down was that no-one seemed to know what to do with their luggage. Many people were travelling with large fully stuffed suitcases which didn't quite fit into the overhead racks. So peoples luggage protruded into the aisles or hung precariously from the overhead racks, while the purpose built luggage racks in the carriage vestibule were far from fully used. The lesson is that is is very easy to travel with carry on sized luggage in the carriage, leave your large suitcases in the vestibule. "

  Trains the way to go | Doreen p. | 2019/04/02
  "After travelling throughout Europe last year and recently, my husband and I have been extremely happy and impressed by the high speed rail system in Europe. The system is highly efficient, trains arriving on time, very comfortable and clean, arriving at your destination feeling very relaxed, not having had to wait at airports for hours and needing to go through tedious check-ins etc. Prices for tickets are very reasonable considering all of these reasons. We would highly recommend this mode of travel. "

  First TGV trip with RailEurope | . | 2019/04/02
  "We had the tickets, but I was concerned that I had to do more with them, get them stamped or something, but information told me I was good to just board and use them. With these trains, you just wait in the area near the platforms (voies) and wait until the boards show which one your train will board from. Then there is a mad rush as everyone heads down a platform and onto a train. If you're coach 12, that can be a long way down the platform. Good smooth travel, quiet and fast. "

  Hassle free and relaxing | Rita a. | 2019/04/02
  "I loved the train travel. It was smooth, relaxing and basically hassle free. The service was very good considering the language barrier. I am really glad I booked this train ride. I would do it again next time I am in Europe. I would seriously consider train travel between the European countries as it is more convenient than catching flights despite the long travel times. "

  South to North in 3 Hours | Ruth b. | 2019/04/02
  "After 30 days in France we were returning home. We were travelling to Paris from Provence to stay at an airport hotel overnight. We purchased our tickets early and for a few extra dollars enjoyed travel in the TGV first class. The seats were very comfortable and spacious and the scenery beautiful. The only drawback was the very limited catering on offer. The standard was not high which seemed surprising for a country like France. However rail is easier than air travel and the experience was excellent. "

  Didn’t need to book! | Peter s. | 2019/04/02
  "This was a short 15 minute trip and we didn't need to pre-book the journey, but it was good to know that we had to be at the gare at a particular time. "

  Part of European trip | Alan t. | 2019/04/02
  "Probably underutilised Eurail pass but convenience factor was main drawcard. Main issue was lack of luggage space, particularly as train was well patronised. "

  Marseille to Toulon | Diana m. | 2019/04/02
  "This train didn't have as many stops, so was abit quicker. We all (4 of us) had seats. Once again left and arrived on time. Train travel around France really cheap if you go regional train. "

  Good tain journey | Lynda w. | 2019/04/02
  "We missed the train to Las Spezia that we were booked on but because it was due to the late arrival of the train from Como we were able to get on another one 2 hours later at no extra charge. The staff at the station were excellent and as we did not have a seat booked we were able to sit in a 6 seater carriage which we had all to ourselves. It was a very pleasant journey "
