On October 17, the SNCF will inaugurate a new type of travel. On a TGV between Paris and Lille, the group will hold its first one-man railway show. No, it’s not a joke. Fans of quiet journeys will complain, but others may appreciate it.
A lively one-man show
A few days ago, the SNCF formalized its “TGV Inoui Comedy Club“. Enough to recall the special cinema cars which existed at the time in certain Corail trains. This time, the principle is simple: transform the bar car into a small performance hall with a comedian guestwhich will make the time pass a little faster during the trip. As for guests, the group clearly intends to focus on prestigious names, since the first to take part in the exercise will be the comedian Baptiste Lecaplain. Other names will be announced later if the trial is ultimately transformed.
However, don’t expect to enjoy the show straight away: for its grand premiere, the event will not be open to travelers, but only to the press and certain influencers. Objective: measure the public’s interest in this type of animation, before, why not, releasing it generalize next year in certain trains, journeys and at certain periods, if this feedback is positive.
Activities to help you forget about delays.
If the initiative makes you smile, it is not the first time that the SNCF has tried to innovate on its trains, by offering experiences that are out of the ordinary. After the cinemas which we have already spoken about, the railway group also organizes thematic workshops in the TGV bar car, mainly to raise awareness among travelers about certain environmental issues, such as short circuits and low-carbon travel. This year was reminiscent of the SNCF, 12.5% of TGVs were displayed late.
In the same vein, the Trenitalia company organizes escape games on board certain trains, which circulate between Paris and Lyon. During the two-hour journey, participants must solve a series of puzzles in order to find a stolen work of art. A good way to make time pass more quickly.
