My elderly mother (84) and I are traveling from London via the Euro star to Lille. We have already purchased France Rail Passes. We would prefer to take a local train into Rouen, rather than going to Paris Gare du Nord by TGV, and then transferring to Gare St. Lazare and onward to Rouen.
We will be arriving in Lille on April 28, 2016, around 1:30. I have only found one local train which leaves Lille, with a transfer in Amiens, and the on to Rouen. Does anyone know whether there is more than one local train per day? The only one I saw leaves at 3:54 pm and no reservations are taken for that train. I worry if we will be able to be assured of boarding that train without having reservations.
Thanks so much.
