Hello. The 3+1 seat configuration is absolutely awesome for a couple travelling with one kid. It is much better than sitting in a club 4 with a stranger, or with the aisle in-between you and your spouse. Actually, I think it is a god idea to have some coaches configured that way. Nice trip report mate!
Honestly, I wish they’d develop such a network across the EU. Would make visiting my friends from the east so much better environmentally. And who doesn’t like a good and calm TGV journey?!
The reason why Lyon airport is not used a lot by sncf is that it is way too far from Lyon downtown. You must catch a taxi or take a ultra expensive trammay. For someone who wants to travel in lyon, I strongly recommend to choose a stop in Part dieu or Perrache, lyon airport is too far
Yes,cause it's not connected by railroad with the others stations in Lyon downtown,and there's no connections with others destinations.If you go or live in the west,and north area of Lyon it's very long and expansive too reach this station.
Sad that there isn't a TGV anymore directly from Brussels to Nice, I took it regularly. Most of the times, it's now switching from train in Marseille (and thus slower).
It does look very cramped at first sight, but there does seem to be a reasonable amount of space. No catering through, is that right? Three abreast seats perhaps ok for a commuter train, but for a long distance high speed train: I don't think so.
Superbe video. Et le coup de l’embarquement distinct selon les gares semble judicieux. Je comprend la raison pour la SNCF de proposer une offre lowcost, mais je pense que la compagnie nationale devrait aussi faire de vraies offres premium sur ses services INOUI, comme le font les FS et Italo.
6:42 Actually it's vice versa: if you go this direction (from the French Riviera northbound to Paris), the train at Marseille switches from 1500V (low speed line) to 25000V (entering the LGV Mediterranee high speed line).

Europe has so many low cost train companies competing with each other and the national railways. In the U.K. we don’t have that. Due to ticket prices being set and competition laws meaning the franchises have a monopoly it isn’t possible.
Le tramway de Lyon saint exupery à la part Dieu coûte 15 euros, voilà pourquoi les trains passent pas par l’aéroport, celui-ci est juste trop loin du centre ville
Eh non. Le 25000 v est utilisé depuis le milieu des années 1980. La ligne de la côte d'azur a été électrifiée dans les années 1960 en 25kv alternatif mais il a fallu faire une section de séparation car la ligne paris marseille est electifiée en 1500v continu. Pour votre information la ligne paris marseille a été complètement électrifiée en 1962.
Why is france do you have queue inside and board the train like it is a plane? You get the train instead of a plane so you don’t have to go through all of that. I do not get it. Can someone explain?
I wish we had a competitor for eurostar as I think there prices are to expensive, so always taking the plane fom UK, but Ryanair is not my favourite airline. I would love to travel on this from London to Tours or Le Mans
I assume so as there is a specific pre-boarding for this service. On conventional TGV services, reservation has always been "obligatoire" (ie YOU MUST!).
The girl smoking by the train door is the reason why the stereotype about the smoking French is alive and kicking! 😁 That, and the fact that France has, by far, the highest prevalence of tobacco smokers in the G7! 🚬🚬
@Doffy Rob Oh please...3 minutes is enough for that. What if my train is late and I miss my connecting train just because the platform is closed but the train is still there?

So can cancer. Chemotherapy - not anything else - got me to give up smoking - and while it was due to cancer, it was colon and prostate (not lung). Chemo and smoking simply didn't mix.

Yes indeed, I haven't thought
And the solo side is good for those who are travelling alone and don't want to be disturbed by a neighbor.
Yeah on airbus planes got 2 4 2 configure for that,great right?

yes they realy need to do that, its a complete joke we don't have it yet
I hope Flixtrain grows, they already have expanded to Sweden.

Hi,I am eagerly awaiting your video, for your European Railway Trip.
Excellent trip report !!!
Those three seats together are "junk" two is enough!!!
Thanks for sharing !!! :):):)
Lyon st exupery is not used a lot because to go to lyon city center you have to take a tram that costs 10 euros...
The livery is stunning and so are your videos.
What do you make of the SNCF announcement Jingle.
Personally, I love the SNCF jingle. I read elsewhere that OUIGO has its own jingle?
Malcolm Hartney yes. They have a different jingle. It’s a different company. Even if the SNCF owns the Ouigo company
The seats are the same as those used on Electrostar commuter trains in the UK, but with larger folding tables. How firm do you remember them being?
They are less firm than on 377s, way better
Too many brands at SNCF, Ouigo, inoui... what’s the difference?
Inoui is regular TGV services, Ouigo is low cost ;) But I'm agree with you, too many brand

That is dirt cheap, cheaper than commute to Manhattan.
The longer captions don’t stay on- screen long enough to read them. How much did this trip cost?
10€, according to the title.

Better than SWISS
De todos los modelos de alstom del TGV Atlantique me quedo con el S-100 de Renfe, el mejor interior de todos con diferencia que el de Thalys y SNCF.
Information about and philosophy of OUIGO: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouigo - Cheers, Heinz

I would love to travel on this from London to Tours or Le Mans
Definitely especially Tours airport is nightmare
Didn't realise they had their own trains. Thought they were just cheaper tgv tickets
Salut, je voudrais savoir si OUIGO contrôle réellement la taille des valises?
Toute les fois ou je l'ai pris non
D'accord merci 😊
Nice video man! What is the process of the inOui take over since it's been announced? Really love the views from these trains!
It's a low cost offer so no service (bar, wifi, power outlet) more densified trains and that it. honestly that a good product
The train coupling place is not fully painted
Pourquoi tu as changé le titre ?
Ou à tu trouver la pancarte au début de la vidéo du nom de la gare stp
C'est moi qui l'ai fait
What is the Dragon Ball livery? XD
Yeah for the promotion of the last Dragon Ball Z movie, ouigo have do a special liveries DBZ
Your Video description has a mistake 125 mph is about 200 km/h correct would be 186 mph
Not exactly luxurious but for that price you can't complain.
3 seats are crap on a train - unless you are traveling with children.
No food service offerings???
Jaim bien le ouigo et aussi j’aim voyager
Do you have to reserve a seat for OUIGO?
I assume so as there is a specific pre-boarding for this service. On conventional TGV services, reservation has always been "obligatoire" (ie YOU MUST!).
You must buy your e-ticket on the website OUIGO SNCF.
Is there a buffet car on OUIGO?
Nope nothing, you have to prepare everything to eat before your trip ;)
@@SimplyRailway Oh yeah, they replaced the buffet car with a luggage stowing area. Lol
@@slaughterblade half of the buffet car....
I hate OUIGO, but SNCF is great
But OUIGO is a part of the SNCF

I am french

About that lady smoking just outside the train: is it common in Europe? I can't believe public smoking is allowed in France
@Leonhardt That's absurd. I absolutely hate sniffing someone else's deadly cigarette.
@LeonhardtThis should be banned, no non-smoker should be tortured by harmful passive smoke 😒
2:35 he reveals his face
no 125 mph but 186

1:53-Sister Number ???
Can do Smoking in Station?...Wow no penalty? 2:23
french stations r none smoking...
Tukang Ledeng No, because in France : smoking in public location is forbidden
Да немного тесно в вагонах.
Closing the platform 10 minutes before departure, what a joke. Completely degrades the benefit of high speed rail.
@Doffy Rob Oh please...3 minutes is enough for that. What if my train is late and I miss my connecting train just because the platform is closed but the train is still there?
@Doffy Rob Wow...did you feel so threatened by my comment that you have to attack me?
There are hundreds of people at large train stations who have to get connecting trains, therefore it is very important that people will be able to board the connecting train if theirs arrives late. There is no reason at all to close the platform 10 minutes earlier. Countries like Switzerland or Japan often have connecting times of only a few minutes, they don't close platforms at all, and still trains leave and arrive on time.
