Dear Sir,

In reply to your letter dated April 21, please find the following information about taking your bike.

In TGV TRAINs and on Corail coaches, you may take your bike in the TGV luggage stacks and on the wide vestibules of Corail coaches.

These measures apply to cycle which can be fold up or placed with their wheels removed in specials covers. You can purchase such covers from specialised shops.

On some Regional or Grandes Lignes TRAINs marked whith a mention " bike transport " in the SNCF timetables on our server you can take your cycle free of charge.

However you will have to load and unload it yourself and you will remain responsible for it all time.

In some TRAINs (especially regional TRAINs) the capacity of luggage van is restricted to 3 cycles. You will have to load/unload your cycle without delaying the departure of the TRAIN.

I inform you that now you can access our internet site at www.sncf.fr When you are on the first screen, you can choose the english version in activating on the english flag.

You can obtain the TRAIN fares and schedules at http://voyages.sncf.fr/voyages_gb/acgb_accueil.html

To get a price when you are on the "list of journeys" you have to select one schedule. When you are on the view "list of journeys" it is necessary to select a journey 1 or 2 or 3 on the left of every timetable. Then you have to follow the dialogue up to obtain your price.

I hope this information will help you.

Yours sincerely.
