On 8 January, SNCF launched the new Optimum class, which replaces Business 1\u00e8re, as well as its Optimum + version on the Paris-Lyon route alone. On this route, the company operates 19 daily round trips on the TGV Inou\u00ef, with departures every 30 minutes during rush hour, morning and evening, and every hour in the middle of the day. \" Paris-Lyon is our main business route, ahead of Paris-Lille and Paris-Bordeaux, with 40% of passengers travelling there for business reasons, with the option of a day return.<\/em> \"says Benjamin Huteau, Director of TGV Sud-Est at SNCF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential for 1,500 Optimum+ seats per day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this number of frequencies during the day, the new Optimum+ ticket is based on access to the Grand Voyageur lounges at Paris-Lyon and Lyon Part-Dieu stations, easy ticket exchange and enhanced customer service. But it also includes, for the first time, a real restaurant service on weekdays. This improved service is offered on 39 seats in 1st class, still positioned in the upper cabin of car 1, and is designed in particular to meet the emerging competition from Trenitalia, whose Executive class, with 10 leather seats, benefits from \u00e0 la carte catering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
