TGV Lyria seat plan: how to interpret it?

I'm taking a look at the seat plan for the Zurich-Paris TGV Lyria.

The diagrams only show cars from 1 to 8, but the text says that cars are numbered 1-8 and 11-18. Is car 11 the same thing as car 1, car 12 same as car 2, and so on?

Most of the seats are marked by two numbers, e.g. 75/54 -- what does it mean?

Best Answer

carriages are numbered as follows: coach 1 to 8 or coach 11 to 18

Note that's "or", not "and" - TGVs are sometimes joined together in pairs (not on the Lyria routes, but the trains are the same trains) and then one train is 1-8 and the other is 11-18.

So yes, 1 and 11 are the same, etc.

I can't explain the two different numbers.
