This decision makes it possible to group the journeys under a single brand, to offer a shorter journey time (the IZY journeys took an hour longer because the train did not run on the fast track in France), a wider offer, more of services and possibilities to book or cancel, adds the spokesperson.
On the other hand, the low cost tariffs disappear but Thalys ensures that there will be advantageous offers. The operator has notably launched a summer promotion, particularly for young travellers.
