The TGV train has two engines, one at the front (facing forward) and one at the back (facing backwards), so they don't need to change engines at the terminal. The idTGV is another TGV connected to the the normal TGV at the nose of the engines. So they are physically connected/not independent, but you can't walk between the two. One train has the idTGV passengers, the other the regular TGV passengers, but the trains are physically connected.<br />2. It will say both train numbers. But you need to be prepared for their to be two train numbers on the platform. Normally I think the iDTGV is listed second.<br />3. I'm not sure. With a regular TGV ticket there is no ticket control on the platform and so there would be no problem with boarding the train and taking your reserved seat at a different station. However, the iDTGV has its ticket check on the platform before you board the train and so it may cause it problem when you board because it is not what is on your ticket (although it may not, as long as it is the same train). I would suggest emailing iDTGV to ask - there will be a policy. There is an English section of the TGV website with a web form for contacting them (http://www.idtgv.com/en/formulaire-de-contact)<br />R and M Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787415758487138637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153579519492833514.post-38878760218333511102013-05-10T21:47:46.924-07:002013-05-10T21:47:46.924-07:00Hi, thanks for sharing this useful information.
Ho...Hi, thanks for sharing this useful information.<br />However, I am still a bit confused with below questions.<br /><br />1. "both trains go at the same time". Are there actually 2 different trains, one consists of the passagers who bought their tickets on iDTGV.com, and the other is just regular TGV?<br />2. Will the platform clearly states the train type of the upcoming train to be an iDTGV or TGV ?<br />3. If I've bought an iDTGV ticket, which departs at A and final stop at D (for example: A-B-C-D) would it be ok if I get on the train at B instead of A? any other compensation charge required?<br /><br />Many thanks in advance for answering my questions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676028158751029766noreply@blogger.com
