I have seen this question asked in older forums but haven’t seen a good answer regarding a transfer time of 12 minutes at Strasbourg. We will be arriving on a TER train from Basil into Strasbourg with a 12 min transfer to the TGV INOUI going into Paris CDG. If we miss the TGV train, the next one is about a 4 hr wait. Are there dedicated platforms for TER and TGV trains ? Has anyone traveled this route recently that can give me some tips ?

There are multiple platforms in Strasbourg. Sometimes the TER and TGV stop on the same platform (opposite tracks) but it’s not guaranteed. There are quick checks on the platforms: showing the reservation QR code is enough.
Honestly since that TGV runs once every 4h I’d get the previous TER 30 min earlier. Not that I don’t trust the connection time but rather that 5-10 min delays are frequent on that busy mainline.
(Basel-Strasbourg usually runs every 30 min but there are some gaps on weekdays and weekends a la SNCF.)
