As suggested--I am trying to book a train from Marseille St Charles to Nice Ville then onto Firenze SMN. I would like to leave Marseille St Charles on 26/9/07 at 18:01 2nd class for 27.80 euro. Then leave for Firenze at 21:07 . My Aunt is 70 years old and I am 52. the smart rate in T3 sleeper should be no more than 55euro each. I am not able to book -your site keeps saying that no trains leave on that day/date. please help me!
NO MATTER WHAT TIME I ENTER I GET A RESPONSE STATING---
No trains run after the time indicated; PLEASE HELP ME!!!

First, the SNCF site experiences technical difficulties from time to time. What you have experienced is one of them. However, I did a dummy booking a few minutes ago and was successful.
Second, the 18:01 train from Marseille to Nice is a regional one. There are no reserved seats so you don't need to book tickets in advance. However, if you want to book this train, do it separately from the Nice-Firenze train.
Third, the Smart Fare for a T3 sleeper was still available on the night train. When using the English version of the SNCF site, enter Florence rather than Firenze.
