TGV Réseau Duplex
Photos are very meh because i had too big of a lens for this distance and I wasn't expecting to see this rare of a train there
There are only 19 units of those made and they are mainly used on LGV Est (Paris - Strasbourg - German border), so seeing that in Rennes was unexpected

@rail_@bark.lgbt and we have some of them in Ouigo España right?
@akalanka@masto.es no
Ouigo trains are modified TGV Dasye (2nd generation Duplex)
@rail_@bark.lgbt @akalanka@masto.es Ouigo Spain is a different service and company. It uses rebranded Euroduplex trains, as it made it easier for SNCF to get certification, given that they wanted to run inOui Euroduplexes from Barcelona to Paris.
@akalanka @rail_ those are Euroduplex, a later and fairly different model
@moof @akalanka no, they aren't
Euroduplexes are the 3rd generation
OuiGo TGV are modified Dasye (2nd generation Duplex)
@rail_@bark.lgbt @akalanka@masto.es were talking about Ouigo España. Not Ouigo France
@rail_ @akalanka here’s one in Madrid - Puerta de Atocha - María Zambrano that I photographed and rode in April 2024.
@moof @akalanka a, that makes sense
@moof @akalanka i assumed they were the same model as Ouigo TGV in France
@rail_@bark.lgbt @akalanka@masto.es it also has Spanish language signage inside including branding the top floor as “cielo” or sky, and the bottom floor as “tierra”, or earth. Their advertising makes a number of puns about being equivalent to flying because taking you to the sky. And of course “el cielo” is the Spanish word for heaven.
