SNCF ticket time zones

The SNCF website/app are pretty exasperating when you do the search. HOWEVER...once you look at your tickets, if it says 451P (or 1651 in 24 hr time) then that is the time your train leaves. The ticket times are correct for France time if that makes sense (and I think that is what you are asking).

BTW you can also add the ticket to your Apple or Google Wallets. I generally do that plus screen shot the ticket with the QR code.

The only weird thing with the time is when you first do the search and then you have to "back up" to see earlier departure times.

What I do is click on earlier trains until you get to the time you actually want.

Thank you for the responses. Pam, I put things in my google wallet and take screen shots too. My tickets, which are both long distance, do have the correct time noted on them.

What doesn't make sense to me is that it looks like SNCF adjusted the longer distance tickets to the correct time zone, but it won't with the more local tickets. Maybe this is common knowledge to people who get tickets from SNCF regularly?

KD, I have the app and the tickets are there as well as in my apple wallet. That is not my concern. My concern is that the time zone appears to have automatically adjusted on the tickets I purchased from Paris to Dijon and Dijon to Lyon so it's accurate, but when I looked at local tickets the time zone did not seem to adjust. Nonetheless, thank you for your input.

That is weird that the local routes are not adjusting. I just bought tickets yesterday which includes one leg on a regional train company and the time is accurate but maybe it's because I bought a long journey and this is just the starting segment on Iio trains?

IF it's a local journey maybe this is a train that does not sell out and you can just buy it when you are in France?

If it is a TER, generally the ticket is good on any train that day.

Trains between Beaune and Dijon run every 15-30 minutes. It's a short commuter train. There's no reason to deal with that until you are at the station.
Your train from Dijon to Lyon is a local train too, called a TER, but a longer distance than a commuter train.

I appreciate everyone who has commented. My concern is not just for the day trip to Beaune. I will be in France for about a month, moving to several places and doing multiple day trips. I usually just buy day trip tickets at the last minute (or at least nearly the last minute), but I do like to at least look at the schedule in advance to make sure there are plenty of options going both to and from. It sounds like I'll just have to go with the flow and stay flexible.

Anyway, some good news: I'll be in Paris the beginning of the month, so while I reserved a ticket for Saint Chapelle, it appears Musee Roudin has free admission the first Sunday so I can just show up to see the gardens whenever. I hope that doesn't mean it will be so crowded though, but I love that I don't have to pin down a particular time to arrive.

Thank you!

KRS,
It will always be more crowded on the free day, but go to the Rodin and enjoy! Take note of "The Burghers of Calais" and learn their story beforehand. Also, "The Gates of Hell".
I go to the Rodin every time I am in Paris. Ste. Chappelle is second in my favorites. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

KRS,
On free day I would be there when it opens. It will only get more crowded as the day goes on.

Judy, I have a ticket for St Chapelle at 9 when they open, so I definitely won't be able to be at the museum when it opens. I wonder if the crowd dissipates as the day goes on.

The crowds get larger and lines get longer as the day goes on.

I was afraid of that Elizabeth. Thanks for the info.

Glad you got early tickets for Ste. Chapelle. Go straight upstairs first, then the lower level. The security lines fo here are slower than at other places. Get in your timed linen a mbit early also. And go to the Rodin whenever you can. It is worth it. Enjoy!
