What is time and fare please?

Our schedule is depart Gare de Lyon 11:14 arrive Marseille 15:21. Two J tickets hit my Visa AUD232 total. Purchased from Trainline who offered best deal after comparing 3 sites and different operators at a reasonable time of day. Like airfares prices are a moving target and sometimes J cheaper than Y by.changing departure by one hour

Addendum: J from Geneva to Paris @6am was cheaper than Y @8am.

Simplicity for a lot of trips over a few days purchased in advance a Eurail pass can make sense. For us outside Switzerland we only needed 3 trips spaced weeks apart so purchasing separate tickets was the way to go. While in Switzerland we bought a Swiss Pass.

If you download relevant apps and join the sites, you will get regular offers of cheap fares - great if you are in Europe and want a weekend away or similar but also can be useful to just see what is possible, learn about pricing and hand pick a fare here and there if flexible to suit your needs.

SNCFConnect, Trainline, SBBMobile are three I joined.

Also watch "Black Friday" and similar for price discounts on passes bought in advance.

The man in seat 61 is a great resource (google for site)

The reason there is a limit of two pictures is to stop posters from dominating the thread. Making multiple posts goes against this.

Please choose your best view, and post that.

If you have more than two pictures you wish to share feel free to start a trip report. You may post as many as you like in that.
