The trains will operate on the Lyon-Mâcon and Lyon-Valence lines from mid-2023.

The new 83m-long trainsets will offer 385 seats and can be operated in multiple units with the previously ordered 40 Regio 2N fleet.

The trains also feature Wi-Fi, a video surveillance system and six bicycle slots, as well as comply with the European interoperability and accessibility requirements.

Bombardier Transportation France president Laurent Bouyer said: “The Regio 2N is a double-deck, high-capacity train that combines capacity, comfort and accessibility. This equipment has proved its worth and is perfectly suited to the needs of the regional and peri-urban lines of the Region Auvergne-Rhône Alpes, which, after Ile-de-France, are the national rail network’s most heavily loaded.
