Regarding the SNCF journey planning logic - I can’t get the SNCF journey planner to offer the first journey below. Is it to do with a maximum allowed journey time on local trains?

My app shows it when you ask for timetables only, but doesn't when you check prices. Same on the website. Forcing TER produces no results.
There was an app update a few days ago so maybe that's the difference.
SNCF have always had a heavy preference for TGV. They use a Hacon backend, just like DB, but it's heavily crippled.

Yes I had to update app today before I reached the page which I screen-shotted in the reply above.
As you can see the fare is quite a bit cheaper on the op's preferred service!
