A great review indeed. SNCF (and all European carriers in general) should strive to make high speed trains as well as normal trains budget friendly. Not only will the trains compete with Road and Air more fiercely but also provide the pleasure of Rail travel to the masses. Trains are highly eco friendly when compared to their opponents which means that if more people take the train, the lesser carbon footprint they have!
The Technocrat I totaly agree, but that the ticket cost always the same exept for emeple 6 hours for departure!
The Technocrat here in italy HST are very cheap compared to other EU nations
The Technocrat Spain’s National Rail company, Renfe, is also introducing a low cost HST named AVLO in April 2020, with prices at around 20€!
look at the way you are cramped up like a sardine in that commuter seat duplex though. there is no pleasure in rail travel over air travel like that.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. However, I think that the Railway companies can employ out of the box solutions for generating more revenue yet keep the prices low and they would not have to cramp passengers like sardines.
I dont understand why some countries have something like "security lanes" or "boarding" on their trains.
For me as a german that feels akward.
If i want to board an ICE, i just go to the platform, and step in the train when it arrives. Even if i dont want to board that train i can just go to the platform and just hang around there.
Having security like in a plane just kills the advantage of a train imho.
In a german train station everyone is free to walk around to every platform.
And why not? Whats the point of those "security" checks? If someone wants to blow up a train he can do it anyway, or just pick an even more filled commuter train. Stupid habit of some countries.
HighSpeedTrain should not have someting like "boarding", to make it competetive against airplanes it needs to be like a regional train, just faster.
Waiting 20min to board a HST is just ridicolous, and kills all the advantage of HST.
I get your point of view and I also felt unsure about the gates before they installed them. But in the end I think they're really usefull because of how easy you control your ticket and board the train. Also it's not a "security check" like in airports. It's just ticket control, you scan your phone and get to enter the right platform. I take the TGV a lot and I've never waited more than 5 min to go through the gates. It helps prevent people boarding trains without ticket as well as regulating flows of people on platforms.
For Ouigo the process is different though, there's indeed a "boarding" process and you need to be there at least 30 mins before departure. I guess it's a sacrifice to make for a cheap ride.
In some cases it’s mandatory by the authorities or specific rail corridors like the channel tunnel for example. In Spain for example you go through a security check because not all countries are as safe as Germany. There are plenty of countries that have high speed rail but also have some nasty political factions...
The fact you can board an ICE in Germany without any check whatsoever actually is an oddity, enjoy it while it lasts.
Spain doesn't have any internal political factions that'd blow up a train. ETA finished their activities 20 years ago. Anyways, Spain High Speed is a segregated network and either has dedicated stations or parts of stations separated from the commuters and regional services. Controls are quick, and not as intensive as in the airplanes. That combined with the fact it actually gets you from downtown Madrid to downtown Barcelona (for instance) makes you not have to commute from and to the respective airports shaving around 1.30/2h from the total trip downtown to downtown even if the trip itself takes more time in the AVE (3h + 10 minutes in the checking) than the plane (45 minutes checking and boarding, 10 minutes taxing, 1h20min in flight, 20 minutes deplaning, 1h commuting in/out from the airport at minimum... when there's delays, or overcrowding, or a storm add anywhere from 20-30 minutes to hours of delays). In the end the high speed train will always be more competitive and functional when the distance is inferior to 700km if there's a good HS service between the cities (Europe).
They are not useless. It's to protect people and to avoid things like the 2015 Thalys terrorist attack. By the way, they are way faster than on airports, personal experience.
Maarten Otto it is for security (like in the Airports) and to make a more confortable jourmey as you are showing the train ticket before going into the train, in the plataform only you can find the train passengers; finally this system is faster.
REALLY helpful to point out that lower deck carriage one is uniquely a 1-3 configuration. I’ve just changed my seat for free - no charge for changes with the OUIGO PLUS fare - to a solo from another carriage.
The boarding brings in one of the things I hate with airports, and take away one of the things i love with trains
Hey i working for SNCF in ouigo trains. If you come again in our trains ask me in private for se more of this spécial train. Hope see you soon on our lines... greats
On a besoin de la SNCF ici au Royaume Uni! J’ai pris le ouigo l’année dernière de Champagne Ardennes- Paris Est.. c’était super! Très pratique, vite et moins cher!
J’adore cette vidéo là aussi! Merci 👍🏻
Mais il faut savoir que le contribuable français paie plus en impôt qui va en subvention au réseau ferré. Donc il y a de bons services a pas cher. En Grande Bretagne le kilomètre en train est généralement plus élevé mais en réservant à l'avance, on peut trouver des prix intéressants.
Hi do you know if this is The same type of train going to Mont Saint Michel?? Sad to know you have to pay to have power for celphone or compute, thank you!
Good report, THX!
Maybe i missed it in the video - but was there any food cart option brought around? Might be taking the CDG to Marseille St Charles trip soon and wondering about buying any snacks/water. Thanks!
5:31 FACE REVEAL
I've seen his face many times before in other videos
Many people left at Aix-en-Provence? I guess they had no time "to lose" 😉
XD
Super vidéo ! Sur l’affichage y’a marquer embarquement Ouigo Nice ?
Chouette vidéo ! 👍🇨🇵
1:17 i know that is pronounced as niece or neese, but that Nice "On Time" fit like a glove. 😂
Próximamente en España
¡ Bravo !
Je crois que la SNCF ont écoutés t'es doléances à la fin de la vidéo concernant les Corails transformés en OUIGO classique lol , tu es visionnaire !!
Man, that's one crowded train. Kinda takes the joy out of travelling via train, but I guess you get what you pay for.
I would rather be on that then be on a bus for sure.
It's a good thing and a bad thing. Nice that there's the demand for the service and hopefully that ensures its survival, but still a little bit of a let down on the inside when there isn't much space...
fetchstix™ well this is a low-cost. What do you expect ? Let me ask you honestly, would you rather be on that or would you rather be on a coach bus ?
@@vintagetriplex3728: You've pretty much made my point for me(!) Forget low cost - trains (as well as buses, coaches, airplanes etc.) are public transport, and the aim is to have each train as filled (and/or profitable!) as possible. If you truly expect (rather than just desire) to be isolated, you may as well take your own car, and then you have to deal with the downsides which come with it, and while you may have that moment where you sigh inside when you see your train packed, if there wasn't the demand then there wouldn't be a train in the first place (as if the whole network is run as a heritage line for you!)
Everyone gets a seat with a reservation so it’s fine!
Honestly seems pretty good value. If you're on a budget, gets you there quickly in a reasonable degree of comfort. Not as nice as TGV/Inoui but a llot cheaper.
I like the color scheme of the TGV OuiGo very much. That ocean-blue basic color of the French version fits perfectly to the LGV Mediterrannée, which your train used in this video. The ocean-blue also looks good with the black on the locomotives (motrices) in between. The pink and blue OUIGO circle logos also look interesting. The Spanish TGV OuiGo version is also nice, replacing the ocean-blue by a white basic color.
Good video ! The railway company is sncf no ouigo (ouigo is just a brand). You can test intercites 100% éco beetween Paris and Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Nantes, Lyon or Toulouse... this is old corail not expensive like ouigo (but more slow...)
Yep :) future project !!
Thanks for this video
Another good review!
Have you done a TGV InOui Video Low Cost TGV as TGV your Common train provider.
Waiting for such this service too in Spain called AVLO!
Les portes étaient fermées car le conducteur n'était pas arriver et n'a pas mit la rame sous tension 😊
Lorsqu on acheter un billet il y a plusieurs prix : le premier siège normal, le deuxième prix avec prise mais j'ai pas compris le troisième prix ? C'est écrit pour un voyage tranquille ?
C'est ça :)
It shouldn’t surprise but I was surprised how full the French trains are particularly the high speed trains.
Yeah a lot of people travel everyday with these trains. They're almost always full
Excellent product at that price. How do I know my carriage has power outlet facility while booking?
Awesome review! TGV trains are so interesting! I'm hearing that inOui will be the new TGV and will be phasing out the old brand. Also, have they been retiring the older TGV models lately (SNCF TGV Réseau for example)? Also I subbed!
Yes TGV Inoui is the new branding of TGV... I don't really understand the name but anyway. Yes they are going to scrapped TGV Sud Est and TGV Réseau. That a shame bc TGV sud est were fully refurbished 5 years ago and the confort is incredible, way better than first TGV Duplex who the interior remain the same since 1996. I don't really understand SNCF they don't think about customers. Anyway it's a personal though thank you for your support :)
I am very much for this 3+1 seating arrangement, provided that it is limited to a small number of cars. Thus, people travelling alone and groups of three people get a little privacy without need to pay for expensive 1st class tickets.
Bonjour Thibault est ce que se serai possible que tu fasses une vidéo paris Marseille St Charles en Ouigo stp
Very interesting concept!
I personally would like the option of some sort of "extra legroom seat" for a surcharge!!! ???
What do you think "Simply Railway" ?
I am and older person than you and would like a little more comfortable surroundings as I am 30 years older than you:):):)
I know my wife would not like the "cattle call" type of service...:(:(:(
She has medical issues and could not travel like that.
Not being snobby either...
But I like SNCF for trying to compete with the low cost air carriers!!!
Thanks for sharing !!! :):):)
Well, couldn't agree more. I won't mind paying extra for some more comfort
@@youcanpunchmeintheface that would be the regular tgv then...
Great video.
Why can't SNCF just cut prices on regular TGV trains that offer decent service and outlets at every seat?
that's like asking why everything just can't be cheaper. Ouigo fits more People in it than a tgv which means it's cheaper.
There was a time SNCF had a monopoly on long distance ground travel in france. EU legislation in part introduced by the French government deemed that to be unlawfull and not good for competition and the taxpayer/passenger. So it now became possible for companies like Flixbus to start operating in competition to SNCF. What the rail company did was a move to introduce a very limited and restricted low budget train offering to not compete in their own market but make sure passengers who otherwise would travel by bus were still in their trains.
You would also find Ouigo does not use any mainline station in France other then where it is absolutely not possible otherwise. Lyon for example is served via the airport station on the LGV, as is Lille. On top of that, Ouigo is primarily using unpopular times and generally against the general traffic flow of regular TGV’s.
Eurotunnel did the same with MyFerryLink between Calais and Dover competing against their own train operation but also picking customers from PNO and DFDS. By doing so the money stayed in the company rather then the competition.
Nice even tho the train was packed travelling for that distance at 186mph/300kmh good value for money
Well, since the price for ouigo between Paris and Lyon is just 10€, and the TGV price is 75€, why doesn’t everyone just use ouigo? Is the difference of 65€ worth the extra comfort of the TGV?
It's unusual that the price difference is so big. At peak periods the Ouigo prices increase a lot.
It's also the frequency (some people don't use the Ouigo because the timetable doesn't fit while regular TGVs are more frequent), and the flexibility (business travellers usually need it and don't take Ouigo).
Finally, Ouigo tickets are not sold with changes to other trains, and they do not serve all stations.
If you want a power outlet you have to booked it. It s an option you have to pay
This livery is 😍
Gona create it now on train sim world 2
Nice review. 👍
Looks about as packed as your average UK train (not bound for London), but at least its cheap lol 😂
The boarding stuff looks like a pain though...
Tu montes avec quoi?
Why do you have to go through all that boarding for trains in france?
So it’s like a budget airline on rails? Older trains. Basic service. Early boarding requirements.
Well put together video. Thanks.
If only I understood how introducing previously nonexistent procedures (i.e. check-in) and placing the butts over the seats 30 minutes earlier than departure time help SNCF save any bucks.
@@gokceaydin3324 It's easier to check the tickets and the amount of luggage you have (and possibly make you pay extra for them). It also reduces the risk of delay, especially when the turnaround time is short between the arrival and the next departure of the train (at the beginning Ouigo had very tight and dense schedules, not so much any more now).
Very nice low coste trainn 🚂👏
Would be much better to carry a power bank eh on these services?
I want to travel from Brussels to Paris gare du nord I will be taking ouigo
L'est mignon le vidéaste :)
That's how you get people to use the Train instead of the Plane. Very good idea of the SNCF
Statistics once said that majority of Ouigo passengers come from regular TGV's. No modal shift.
@@gokceaydin3324 okay. I'm not from France. So I have no idea. But well. That's possible. But I think it's a good idea anyway
“People only want low prices”
Oh boy that is wrong on so many levels I don’t even know where to start. The fact there are three travel classes on both Thalys and Eurostar but also on many other train products around the globe prove that by far not everyone is only interested in saving a few quid.
Give me comfort or give me death!
Why is there a boarding process and stuff to get on a French train? We don’t have that in the uk and I have traveled round Europe and other then Eurostar I’ve never seen anything like that
So it doesnt get too overcrowded I guess. Low-cost is likely to get jam-packed otherwise, like all the trains in the UK
@@AnonYmous-dh2zt It is for revenue protection, all tickets are prebooked online which is part of the low cost model.
I could put up with the low-cost feel, but the deal breaker is the closing of the platform 30 minutes before departure. You would often be better off on a lower speed train that you could get on 5 minutes before it left, rather than blowing 30 minutes of your time staying still
As for "you shouldn't cut it so fine" - you will face the same choice as to how early you arrive to get through the boarding gates, only to be forced to wait for 30 minutes doing nothing
In practice its not true. Ive taken ouigo many many times, if you are late you can always get on the train 1 minute before trust me
On such a long trip, the high speed saves a lot more than 30 minutes.
@@joriss5 That's a good point. There will be a break even point.
That's not true i always used ouigo and i was always there 5 to 10 min before departure
You sure OUIGO has a 30 minute rule for boarding ? Because I was at the train station the other day and the ouigo train was 5 minutes from leaving and there were still a lot of people running to get on and the train crew allowed on the train.
I think.. I'm not used to Ouigo
Tu te trompes,l’embarquement se fait comme un autre tgv ( à part le filtrage évidemment ) et à la question de savoir pourquoi les portes sont fermées alors que les voyageurs attendent déjà ,c’est juste que la rame fait ce qu’on appelle un crochet court en gare ,elle arrive voie A équipée d’un quai de chaque côté .les voyageurs descendent d’un côté et les autres remontent côté opposé .ça évite les bousculades et je crois même qu’il y a un nettoyage fait
Vintage Triple X You’re right. They say that you have to be there 30 minutes before boarding time because the boarding process is done manually by staffs due to luggage restrictions, and Ouigo trains are usually crowded so that the waiting line is very long. It takes a lot of time for boarding, unlike the normal TGV. Boarding closes 5 minutes before departure for Ouigo, and 2 minutes for normal TGV.
Moi c lundi que je prend le OUIGO pour aller à marseille je part de Gare de Lyon trop hate
J'aime tes vidéos c'est carré
ITS TOO GOOD THE OUIGO
Looks like good value for money 💰
Looks very claustrophobic. Good if you like travelling in a sardine tin!
Sooo like a plane?
This is a cheaper Alternative. It's not for People who want to "travel in a sardine tin" but for People on a Budget.
In 1 day the SNCF (In the 30 largest stations in French) manabe to put us 5 days late!
And OUIGO are even more so!
I know because i'm French! 🇫🇷
Actually, I live in France but I never took Ouigo trains
I took InOui and Classic Rapid Trains but Ouigos are rare at West
Bombardier ? Ils ont fait quoi sur le TGV ? Les remorques ?
Oui, en sous-traitance ils en ont construit une partie.
In 2020 I wouldn't be able to have a train trip without any power outlet, especially when that trip is long... :(
The tgv has it
Can you test OUIGO spain please ! 😃😃😃
went on ouigo when we visited france from Paris to Marseille, it was fine.
Did they happen to bring around a food cart?
@@onlyashes not that i saw, i was also sleeping so it's possible
What’s with a 1-3 configuration? That’s the most strangest layout I’ve ever seen
Talgo Avril has 3+2.... But then Talgo applied a handy trick keeping it very comfortable
Because this coach was built for first class, with a 1+2 layout. The floor is lower in the aisle (which is not in the center) than under the seats (to fit cables and ducts). When the coaches were converted for Ouigo, they did not modify the floor so they had to do with the aisle not in the middle. This was the only option to fit 4 seats row.
Je l’ai eu à Gare de Lyon il était à destination de Nice le Ouigo 772
I 💕 trian journey
SNCF needs some competitors, you'll see how much prices will decrease (and they'll even offer power outlets lol)
You think 10 € for a 900 km travel is too much ?
@@mygiwi5498 I was speaking of other services but never mind.
I like your trip reweiv very intersesting for a train fans like me but you could avoid the toilettes time you dont need to see that
NO GO OUIGO! Missing bar car is no fun and 3+1 seating sucks big time. I'll pay more for comfort and amenities I require on intercity train. Thanks for showing me what I don't want. Good video BTW.
3+1 seating is great as a lone traveller as you are likely to get a lone seat with no neighbour.
Pas mal
OUIGO avez-vous une adresse mail pour faire une réclamation ou autre que je puisse envoyer une lettre recommandée
Ouigo ne sert pas le champagne à bord. il suffit de se rappeler qu'on en a pour son argent ! ☺
You have no Pullman seats but the price is good. Ouigo is a very good french idea.
Hey , how much does it cost for the Ticket
29€ for me, booked 1month before. Price start around 19€ on this line :)
It’s expensive
@@ece167mohammadasad8 Not really, before the price was around 100€ for one way ticket with regular TGV, 29€ is the same as low cost company like Ryanair or Easyjet
@@ece167mohammadasad8 wouldn't be if you know the premium (original) fare
6:26 I nearly call it “French Shinkansen”
*That freaking unbalance seat configuration makes me realise the normal seats of Japan’s Shinkansen.

seats are a bit of shit
@Simply Railway 8:22 they made your wish a reality :)
Pas mal du tout cette vidéo :-) Pour info, tu as eu la rame 771 que j'ai eu également sur le OUIGO 7610 Rennes Paris-Vaugirard le Samedi 24 Mars 2018. Tu peux voir la vidéo en cliquant sur le lien ci-dessous : th-cam.com/video/WbE7lEwTkt0/w-d-xo.html N'hésites-pas à commenter et bon visionnage !
Should have some vending machines on board,no?
I never understood why SNCF makes it so damn complicated to get on a train - usually you go to the station look at the track and get it - in France you have to wait for the track to be announced 20 mins before departure, go trough boarding gates and you can’t board the train a few minutes before the actual departure.... this kinda Looses the advantage that trains have over planes
I think SNCF increased security checks before bording trains since the terrorist attacks of 2015. Don't forget France is still highly under terrorism threat
Also, outside of Paris, access to the platforms is only restricted for trains going to Paris.
JustYanns hmmm I remember taking a TGV back in 2014 and you did not have security checks but still a troublesome boarding process
I understand your point and me too i'm not very happy whith boarding gate, but there also meaning behind it.
The delay of 20 min in the big station is meant to have some margin. Platform can be change before 20 min while no waiting passenger know it. When the track is announced really 20 min in advance, it is really enough. In big station you have no interest to announced a platform 2 hour in advance and have a lot of people who will go there and boarding the precedent train of the track by error, or who will slow the mouvement of the passanger of this precedent train. The goal is to manage the flows of people. I don't how efficient it is but the goal istself is understandable. In addition even when the train is already at station, you have often some time reserve for cleaning for exemple. But that's only in the big station, if you go into a small one there are no 20 min delay and all the train are announced on the screen.
Some boarding gate where put in service with the terrorist attack. It was not a decision that SNCF take alone. In addition it allow to reduce fraud and non wanted people in aboard train like SDF. Consequence is that some problem don't enter in the train. For exemple, one time at Gare du Nord in my train, where you have no boarding gate, a SDF enter in the train and right before departure he has a ethylic coma. The case were complicated, even the pompier said that it was not safe to move him and it take a lot of time. it caused a lot of problem because in the most crowded hour and several train were delay. For SNCF if boarding gates were present, the SDF could have not go in the train and the train traffic would have been normal. Even in TGV it's was a problem sometimes. In some case like some TER or, for example, transilien at St Lazare station it has also improved regularity on departure. A few years ago all transilien patform in this station were free access. When it was time to close the doors because it is a suburban service, they were always people to block it because they just arrive. And whis the time the get in the train, new people arrive and block the doors whereas were not in time for the trains. And it can continue like this forever because they are always someone who just arrive and wanted to take the train. Now the boarding gate close when it's time for departure and it's easier to be on time for train.
And lastly you unlike you write it, you can board a train few minutes before departure. On the departure screen, in big station the train disappears 2 min before departure but if you go on the right platform, the boarding gate and the doors close only for the departure. If it is not the time of departure, the conductor will let you pass.
No power outlet 😱
8:26 this is what the SNCF will do in a few months
🇸🇴
Those colours are horrible, looks like a train made by Fisher Price.
Lmao
Where are you from? Have you speed train for 10 euros in your country ? I dont think so
@@youssouch7086 it is totally fine to have high speed trains for 10 euro, I don't see why they need to be painted in those horrible colours though. Certainly doesn't affect the speed. And I am from Sweden since you asked
fresagrus its art in France we love Colors of 80’ lol
@@youssouch7086 then it is more a matter of taste. I like more sober stuff myself haha
Make this move in BUSINESS too
I've noticed that you seem to give a lot of leeway to sncf that you don't to other carriers but in general the trains in France are really good so good to be proud - that being said, that train looks horrible. It was dirty, too crowded, lack of power/usb and had a horrid airline style boarding process. On the upside, it is a 300kph less expensive option and the fact it was so incredible busy means its serving a purpose.
Remember : it’s 19 € from Paris to Toulon which is on the south of the country and you go at 320 km/h. It definitely worths its price. Good option for the students.
Okay. I've been watching TGVs here on TH-cam and everytime I just ask, "why can't they make their trains a bit WIDER???" If I remember, the Shinkansens have wider aisles even with 3+2 configuration. Wide enough to walk freely, without bumping seats and people's bodies. Seriously, just why?
The width of trains is set by the loading gauge which is the cross section each carriage and locomotive must fit through. For legacy railways this cannot be changed.
The Shinkansen was a new line so they could set a wider loading gauge because they started from scratch. Note however that Japan converted some of their 1067mm (3’6”) lines to the same standard gauge (1435mm, 4’8.5”) to connect with the Shinkansen but they have to use a smaller sized train on those routes because the loading gauge couldn’t also be increased.
as a person who used to take the Shinkansen quite a lot, I can say that they are very different depending on the model, and still, quite often you have to stand if you are traveling on a non-reserved ticket (say Tokyowards from Sendai, or around the Osaka Kansai-region), in the mountains, some Shinkansens, like the Komachi, are very narrow, whilst some of the main ones with a 3+3 configuration are actually quite spacious... still, all Shinkansens are for speed... if you want comfort, I far prefer the next layer down of the classical express trains, they go only some 150km-200km (rather then at 330km), but have really good thought through spaces with regional color and a lot of personality... just a pleasure to be in.
Fantastic filming.
Love the livery, but not the new onboard jingle.
Prefer the original jingle, the one still played in the stations.
I will definitely be following more of your Trip Reports.
I’ve been on them ones, never again will I get on a OuiGo train service
No food service?
No with ouigo there no bar and no food sevice . What did you expect its a low cost companie😂😂
It’s a low cost service, they ask you to pay for everything... no food service... power supply is optional. Even quiet seats are payed. Next step : pay for the toilets.
Spirit Airlines is that way. Silly charges. Amtrak’s upper management seems on track to destroy Amtrak food services.
3:45 Hahaha, there isn't one! Welcome to budget transport...
No hygiiene in times of COVID-19.
High prices..
Je savais aps que tu savais parler francais
tu est français, pourquoi mettre des sous-titre en anglais ?? sinon belle vidéo 👌🏻
pour "attirer les étrangers lol" mais moi qui suis un passionné de trains j'adore sa chaîne !
Surprised there is a seat 666. I know it's skipped in alot of places
seat 666 means coach n°6 (or 16), seat n°66.
This is stupid
Ouigo c'est juste des vieux TGV racheter qui ducoup ne sont pas très cher
Nathan Havertz Racheter ????? A qui, par qui ? Pas du tout, rénové et modifié tout simplement
@@niconos35 exactement en fait c'est un peu comme du "tgv recyclage" quoi ...
Needs vending machines for snacks and bottled water, missed revenue opportunity.
Ouigo aux prix bas c'est parfait pour les jeunes gens. Mais pour les autres qui veulent confort et tranquilité Ouigo n'est pas une bonne solution. Heureusement on n'est pas forcé de voyager avec cette offre low-price.
Pour moi les deux seuls problèmes de Ouigo sont:
-pas de prises, ce qui est gênant en cas de manque de batterie, mais ça suffit d'être prévoyant et d'amener ses appareils électroniques chargés ou une batterie
- la taille limitée des bagages: le vrai défaut selon moi, car ils limite forcement la durée du voyage. Après il y a un supplément possible pour son bagage, qui rend l'offre un peu moins intéressante mais toujours plus rentable que l'in oui classique.
Question confort, oui ça pourrait être mieux, mais c'est largement acceptable pour un train dans lequel on ne passe jamais plus de trois heures.
0:40 17hr12! Wtf man thats long.
That's how the French say 5:12pm.
Such a shame there's no power for most seats and no drinks or snacks. That's what puts me off.
Its for for short journeys no one really wants to pay for that on a 3 hour train ride. I just bring a sandwich. Its over before you know it.
Cool video as always,disappointing because they don't put international announcements only in French, English would be good but it's ok overall
