French train ticket question.?

Question

Is it possible to buy or extend a train ticket on the train?

I booked online a ticket from Paris to Hendaye.. but I have just realised that I need to go to Irun which is a stop further.

I don't want to get a new ticket . and waste my old one obviously... but I can't get off and wait for a new train because I'm getting the last train and I need to be in Irun. I won't have time to buy a ticket at the station in Hendaye..

Answer 1

You can ask to the controller in the train (before arriving in  Hendaye). It is possible to buy an extra ticket from Hendaye to Irun in the train, but it will be quite expensive, compared to buy it before leaving.

Depending on the rate of your ticket, you may exhange it , with or without extras, or you can't, by going to a SNCF station.

But confidently : it will be very very unlucky for you to be controlled between Hendaye and Irun, all the more you travelled from Paris. Maybe it is not worth exchanging your ticket ;-)))
