Outlook - The SNCF has just carried out a study into the future expectations of passengers.

More than an increase in train speed (45 %) or an increase in the number of frequencies (42 %), 72 % of French people want TVGs to serve more destinations in France.

Having had a taste of the entertainment on offer on long-haul flights, 55 % of those questioned would like each seat to be equipped with an individual screen. More surprisingly, 33 % would like to see the return of the restaurant car and 32 % the creation of a cinema car.

The creation of a relaxation area is also envisaged by 40 % of people, as the TGV remains an important place for socialising, while 76 % of passengers replied that they had engaged in conversation with another person during one of their journeys.
