Lyon to Geneva by TER

Every couple of hours a French Train Exprès Regional (TER) links Lyon Part Dieu with Geneva.  Change at Geneva for destinations all over Switzerland.

 

The trains are air-conditioned French diesel TER trains like this, of class Z 27500 (photographed on the Toulouse-Latour line).  They have 1st & 2nd class, toilets, room for luggage.  There's no catering so bring your own food & drink.
