Questions

Does “seats reported open” mean I can book?

No. SNCF publishes once a day which trains still have MAX seats. Seats can go in the meantime: always check on SNCF Connect.

What does the chance of a seat mean?

How often MAX seats were open on this train, this many days before departure, over the past year. Three levels, never a percentage: the history is too thin for one.

Why are there trips with transfers?

When no direct train has MAX seats, two or three MAX trains often do. Each one is a separate booking, and the change time uses official SNCF minimum transfer times.

Why is OUIGO missing?

MAX covers some OUIGO trains, but SNCF does not publish them in its MAX open data.

Is Railora affiliated with SNCF?

No. Railora is an independent app that reads SNCF open data.
