After a lazy morning, one headed back to Marseille St Charles station in plenty of time ensuring that all the assistance was in place for the forthcoming journey over the Swiss border to Geneva.
The French TGVs themselves are low floor between the train and the platform edge allowing for level boarding, however, once inside there is a step down into the carriage…
To overcome this obstacle, the floor automatically raises up to the top of the step hence becoming flush to the level of the door and then lowers back down so one can enter. It was quite tricky for Superbunny to manoeuvre as the area inside the carriage, however, it would be more doable in an electric wheelchair that has front wheel drive.
As the train set off for its voyage to Geneva, I discovered that ones phone hadn’t been charged meaning we were rather clueless as to the whereabouts of the hotel in Geneva! Anyway, getting off the train was quite straight forward.
Planning an Interrailing trip as a wheelchair user isn’t the easiest thing to do hence to make it slightly easier for everyone, all the hotels would be within 15 minutes of the arriving station. In this case, we are staying at the ibis (Genève Centre Nations) which is approximately 13 minutes walk.
Tomorrow is our only day in Geneva hence we plan to take a tour around the United Nations building before heading down to Lake Geneva.
