Services specially for you

Quiz: What does this symbol mean? ♿

It indicates that facilities are available to people with reduced mobility.



Ultra-comfort seats

Did you know? There are two spaces in 1st class (coaches 1 or 11) specially reserved for wheelchair users. That’s right, comfort is for everyone on TGV Lyria. *


No spaces available? Don’t panic. You can always opt for a regular booking if you are able to sit in a seat. Fold and stow your wheelchair, then settle into one of our comfortable seats.


Need assistance? Station staff will be happy to help. And you’ll find attentive service once on board. 

*Psst. When booking, don’t forget to ask for one of these spaces.


Need to spend a penny? Our specially designed toilets are also accessible for people with reduced mobility.


💡 Good to know

A wheelchair is available on board TGV Lyria services to help you get about. Having a drink in the buffet coach or visiting the loo has never been easier. Just speak to the train manager.
