THE SNCF is planning to run its sleeper trains during the day from next month - so that passengers can have a comfortable nap while travelling.


The French rail operator's new service, called Téoz Eco, will run for a six-month trial period from May 21 on the line from Paris to Toulouse via Limoges, Brive and Cahors.


The trains will operate from Friday to Monday, offering a choice of either a 45° reclinable seat or a bed in a cabin of four. Single tickets will range from €15 to €30.


The journey will take slightly longer than an ordinary Corail trip on the same route - seven hours - as the train's speed is limited to 160kph instead of 200kph.


The SNCF hopes the new budget service will boost long-distance passenger numbers and make more efficient use of trains that would otherwise spend the whole day in sidings.
