Before you land

The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Easy to get wrong

    This train does not call at any central Paris station — it uses the Vémars junction and the LGV Interconnexion Est to cut across the eastern side of the Paris region, calling at the Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station instead, which makes it a genuinely useful direct option for a traveller who does not need central Paris.

  • Status

    The same interconnection also carries direct Brussels-Lyon (3h40) and Brussels-Marseille (5h25) international TGV workings, so a Lille-Lyon search may show trains that started in Belgium rather than at Lille itself.
