Note tirée de: Train Travel in Cuba
‘Tren Francés’ (the French Train). This is the recommended train to take, air-conditioned and contrary to what some guidebooks say, quite reliable. It runs daily at peak periods of the year, and on every second day at other times of the year, on odd dates (1st, 3rd, 5th etc. of each month) from Havana to Santiago and on even dates (2nd, 4th, 6th etc.) from Santiago to Havana. Fast service using comfortable air-conditioned stainless steel coaches with reclining seats bought second-hand from France. Two classes of seating – basic ‘especial’ and plush ‘primera especial’.
