Tgv-lyria - Online Ticket Buying

Posted by (bangkok, thailand) on

Hello,

I need some expert advice.

I live in Thailand.
I plan to go to Italy - Switzerland and Paris.
I want to take TGV from Lausanne, Switzerland to Paris.
Does anyone know if online tickets can be picked up at Lausanne Station?

I checked out the web site tgv-lyria.com regarding the methods of tickets issue and found that my type of tickets can only be send via post or pick up at station. The cost of sending the tickets to Thailand is around 80 Swiss Franc. So I'd rather pick up the ticket at the station myself.
The problem is I read that the only ticketing office in Swiss is in Geneva.
I want to make sure I can pick it up at Lausanne no Geneva before I buy the tickets.

Thank you so much in advace,
Nard

Where did you read that the only office is in Geneva? You can pick up your tickets at any rail station in Switzerland.....including Lausanne.

As Michael says, you can pick up your ticket in Lausanne. The best site for booking the ticket is the Swiss Rail site. If you book well in advance (up to three months allowed), you can get a discount fare as low as 41 CHF. The standard 2nd class fare is 124 CHF so it pays to book as soon as possible.

If you book on the Swiss site (SBB.ch) you will get a confirmation number for the ticket. You can then pick it up at any station in Switzerland.

When you use the tgv-lyria.com site for trips originating in Switzerland, it automatically redirects you to the SBB booking page.

Thank you so much everyone.

I read it somewhere on Tripadvisor.
I am unable to find it now.

Thanks again : )
