IDTGV
Encyclopedia
iDTGV is a TGV
high speed train service from SNCF
, the French national railroad company. It only sells its tickets online. Carriages are separated into two zones: iDZen for customers wishing a quiet trip, where mobile phones and loud conversations are banned, and iDZap for customers looking for entertainment, where more noise is tolerated and games, shows, etc are sometimes given. Customers can rent DVDs and DVD players as well as board games, buy food, drinks or a sleep kit.
The iDNight is a service by SNCF with the same trains as the iDTGV during the night, but not at high speed and without beds, differently to one would expect by its name. It is aimed at younger people. The night trains service with beds by SNCF is the Corail Lunéa.
An article in the French financial daily Les Echos, dated July 8, 2010 reported that the SNCF is considering implementing a 'low cost' strategy in 2012, in which the iDTGV will feature prominently.
