Ranking · TGV
Over 30 min late: more frequent than in 2024 on 116 of 118 TGV routes
A route is a trip between two stations, in one direction. On 116 of the 118 TGV routes compared, the share of trains arriving more than 30 minutes late is higher over 12 months (October 2025 to September 2026) than in 2024.
The 118 routes have at least 300 planned trains over the 12 months, and all 12 months of 2024 in the file.
The gaps between routes are large. On Paris Gare de l’Est → Stuttgart, 23.2% of trains arrive more than 30 minutes late. On Tours → Paris Montparnasse, 2.3%. Ten times fewer.
Adding up all routes: 7.3% over 30 minutes, 3.0% over an hour. That is an order of magnitude, not a national rate, because routes overlap. 1.2% of planned trains are cancelled.

What this means for you
- TGV INOUI25% back from 30 minutes, 50% from 2 h, 75% from 3 h. You have 90 days to claim.
- OUIGO25% from 1 h to 1 h 59, 50% from 2 h.
- How to claimSee the refund guide (in French).
Station guides: Paris Gare de l’Est, Paris Gare de Lyon.
What these figures do not tell you
- How many trains passed 2 h or 3 h. Nothing is counted at those marks.
- Which trains are INOUI or OUIGO. Over 30 minutes late does not mean a refund on every ticket.
- Why a train was late.
- What will happen on your train.
Method and limits
- Source: Régularité mensuelle TGV par liaisons (AQST), SNCF open data, ODbL licence, accessed 6 November 2026.
- Period: October 2025 to September 2026.
- Routes compared: 118, with at least 300 trains planned over the 12 months and all 12 months of 2024 present.
- Measure: arrival more than 30 or 60 minutes late. Shares use trains that arrived. Cancelled trains are counted separately, against planned trains.
- Limits: one train can appear on several routes. Overall shares add up routes: they are neither a national rate nor a train count. INOUI and OUIGO routes are mixed. January to March 2025 are left out: in the official file, the over-30-minute column is inconsistent for those months. So 2025 covers April to December only.
