Now that is good news, we now need some enterprising transfer companies to meet them at Lyon........

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@chocksaway, You need to have a word with Stellios, maybe he'll add more routes to his easybus service.

There are already transfers from the airport so ones from Part Dieu should be easy enough, or just jump on the bus or tram out to the airport. Can probably do something by train too to Grenoble, Bourg, Moutiers, etc.

Just had a look: train to Bourg from Part Deux take 3h 35 m and the first train after 13:00 is 14:50 (arrive BsM @ 18.25) which is a bit of a shame, but is similar to changing in Paris I guess, and gives a couple of hours to find some nice lunch in a bistro pres de la gare....
Also leaving Bourg at midday to get home (OK London) for 10pm also seems a good option.
Yes, on thinking about it, gets my vote as another option.
