What is more pathetic is the price... 18 Euros of less than a 1 hour of trip... Horrible !!

And for those kind of travellers, departure/arrival time doesn't matter. No need for Takt timetables. 1 or 2 direct services a day is enough.

SNCF connect still lists plenty of Lille-Bordeaux connections, but all imply changing stations in Paris in a very short time. Very tight connections

Not even at CDG or MLV.

Imagine if you are a senior or a family with children... With luggages. Navigating through the RER, Metro

Well even now it is 80% Ouigo i believe.

And meanwhile, i'm writing this in a Strasbourg-Bordeaux TGV now. It's an single-deck TGV, and there is still plenty of empty seats

I am pretty sure that this service won't survive 1-2 years more

Why it will be no wonder ?

I can understand reducing frequency for more profit.

But what is the logic behind cancelling literally a destination completely ?

Do they are wanting to help Volotea or Flixbus??

The famous Circle Line 😂

Interesting communication from Sud Rail

- SNCF will GIVE AWAY some of its paths to Velvet (it's officialised)

-Inoui employees are being being placed to OUIGO or TER.

-And they will cancel 2 direct Lille-Bordeaux TGVs by 2027 (they are none other !!)

@pglux.bsky.social

Not related, but the reliability differences between inOui vs OUIGO units in France is negligeable ,right ?

Velvet's TGVs have slowly started to appear.

Spotted at Aytré, near La Rochelle

Domestic air travel is declining in France.

SNCF goes like: Let's send them to Ouigo Spain !!

30 ICE3 neo is too much on the already existing stock. What are their goals?

Could they compete with SNCF on the Paris-Strasbourg ? It would be nice...

OUIGO par rapport à inOui a aussi un point positif : pendant les trajets, ils ne font pas, comme chez inOui, des annonces constantes, inutiles et dérangeantes.

Entendu dans un TGV Strasbourg–Paris l’été dernier :

« Veuillez rester à vos sièges autant que possible. »

J’ai cru qu’ils avaient oublié d’ajouter : « merci d’attacher vos ceintures de sécurité ».

Probably to have some money to use and distribute before upcoming elections in November 2027

Quand SNCF Voyageurs et SNCF Réseau s’affrontent au tribunal Se rejetant la charge de l’indemnisation de passagers après un incident de réseau, les deux filiales à 100 % du groupe ferroviaire n’ont pas hésité à porter leur contentieux en justice, engageant des ...

I read a news report recently that Reseau and Voyages were involved in a court case.

I think it will be easier and less complex to run this service by France

There’s also that thing called France, which prefers to keep running 50-year-old, knackered trains because it doesn’t want to spend a dime on rail and you also have stupid railfans here romanticising the situation just for the sake of a few over-padded seats.

By France or Germany ?

Why ? That's a good idea ?

I had spoken about TGV Intersecteurs in general.

But i am pretty sure that the frequency of these 2 daily Strasbourg-Brussels TGV will be dropped to 1 when those new trains arrive...

TGV intersecteurs have often affordable fares, so they have also very diversified passenger profiles (Strasbourg-Lyon, Strasbourg-Lille-Brussels etc.)

But they are all at the danger of disappearing in the next 5 years...

I'm talking about my experience on the Paris-Lyon and Paris-Strasbourg lines. The earliest and latest services are the cheaper than the rest of the day

If you want to see more diversified passenger profile just take the earliest or last TGV of the day... All the others are mostly full of CSP+ white people

Ouigo client profile is already "gentrified" in the last 1-2 years Mostly the same people using them

Paris-Clermont and Bordeaux-Marseille should get Omneo Premium

The interior looks very cramped and narrow.

Like it was build for the 1000mm meter gauge loading gauge....
