Travelling with kids

Lyria makes travelling with your family easier thanks to its dedicated services.

Areas organised for families

Before you travel, think about booking seats grouped together to accommodate families.

There are two solutions in particular that are available to you:

  • The Family Square: located in cars 6, 16, 7 and 17 in STANDARD (2nd class), this area consists of 4 seats facing one another. The seats and liftable table allow you to make space to store a pushchair.
  • Club 4: an area with 4 seats facing one another and a table in between (non-liftable).

How to go about it: when making the booking, after choosing your train time and class of travel, select your seats: “Family Square” or “Club 4”.


For further information, consult our train plan.

A practical and accessible baby changing station on board

Close to the Family Squares, you will find a baby changing station in car 7 (upper deck) or 17 (upper deck).
Easy to locate thanks to its sign, it is equipped with a changing table.

A changing table is also available in car 1 (lower deck) or 11 (lower deck).
