Dear All,
I am travelling back from Nice on Saturday evening, leaving at 21:37, with a longish stopover in Marseille - arrive 00:13 & depart at 06:33 travelling to Lille Europe where I am taking the Eurostar to London; I have reserved seats.
My question is this though: is this one journey, using my pass, or more?
Many thanks, John

You'll need two travel days, as you'll be boarding trains before and after midnight. The 21:37 train from Nice to Marseille is a TER for which reservations aren't possible. Depending on your pass it might still be cheaper to get a separate ticket for that journey instead of using a travel day.
There is a direct night train from Nice to Paris (19:07 Nice - 07:55 Paris), but that doesn't run on saturday night. Plus, if you're also travelling on Eurostar with your pass you'd also need two travel days in that case.

Hi Schelte,
Thank you. I have decided to not use the pass for that day but to get tickets from SNCF. My son and I are going to a match of the Rugby World Cup and the 21:37 train is the only one out of Nice after the game going towards Marseille.
Your tip has proven really helpful.
Many thanks, John
