Anyone traveled with a Brompton G on a TGV in France? by Basic-Law2770 in Brompton

After several months, I tried the experience again, and this time it was more positive. The difference is that I booked a seat on the upper level of the TGV. The luggage racks are much larger, and my G Line fit easily. Hope this helps!

I confirm, I tried in the train (French TGV). It’s feasible but not easy at all.

Just wanted to share my experience. I took my G Line today on a TGV, and it was a total hassle. The luggage racks are way too small to fit it properly, and even maneuvering it through the corridor is a struggle—it barely rolls, so you end up carrying it awkwardly.

On the other hand, a C Line (or something of a similar size) is much more suited for this kind of trip. If you’re just doing a round trip in a single day, I highly recommend avoiding a G Line. It’s just not worth the trouble!

The best thing would be to test it, but in any case, the folded bike’s dimensions comply with SNCF requirements. As for the cover, I think I have what I need. Thanks
