There will not be for everyone. as seen by the parisianThe SNCF will put 10,000 “Ouigo Train Classique” tickets on sale on Tuesday May 23 at 1 euro to celebrate one year of its ultra-low-cost TGV offer that offers low prices in exchange for longer journey times.
Be careful, however, that the sale of these tickets that will begin on Tuesday at 7 am for a trip scheduled between May 24 and July 5 will only last one day. To book, go to the OUIGO app or the ouigo.com website.
14 destinations
The commitment to the new offer “Ouigo Classic Train” seems to have been successful for the SNCF. Since its launch a year ago, the railway company claims to have transported 1.3 million passengers on these pink trains.
The “Ouigo Classic Train” offer reaches 14 destinations on the Paris-Lyon and Paris-Nantes lines. It allows you to take advantage of low prices (between 10 and 49 euros, or even 5 euros for children under 12) in exchange for a longer journey time (Paris-Lyon in 5 hours).
Building on its success, the offer could be extended to new destinations at the end of its experiment, which is supposed to last two years: “We want to continue to gain market share on the road by launching the offer where there are people on the highway, whether in France or abroad,” he explained to Parisian Christophe Fanichet, General Manager of SNCF Voyageurs in November.
