The high-speed train service running between Geneva and Paris is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and passengers are flocking back to the train as its seen as more environmentally friendly than the plane.
In an interview with the Tribune de Genève, the General Manager of the TGV Lyria, Fabien Soulet, which runs the service says there has been a bounce back in demand since the summer.
The service now has up to 14,000 seats available every day – and that will up to 18,000 by the spring.
Soulet says much of that demand is from business travellers preferring the train to the plane.
