@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.

@rail_ @akalanka here’s one in Madrid - Puerta de Atocha - María Zambrano that I photographed and rode in April 2024.

A Ouigo-branded TGV Euroduplex in Madrid - Puerta de Atocha - María Zambrano station.

@rail_@bark.lgbt @akalanka@masto.es were talking about Ouigo España. Not Ouigo France

@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
