Intercités de Nuit

Intercités de Nuit is a brand name used by France’s national railway company, SNCF, to denote overnight passenger rail services in France. It was known as Corail Lunéa[1] before 2009 and as Lunéa[2] from 2010-2012.

Intercités de Nuit arriving in Briançon after its journey from Paris

Between 2013 and 2017, most services were cancelled due to budget cuts. Only four routes, from Paris to Briançon, Albi, Latour de Carol and Nice, were kept.[3][4]

The brand has since been reintegrated into the main Intercités network.

gollark: Possibly not.
gollark: Most interweb™ stuff will continue to be done on large platforms despite, by 2030, probably a lot of random privacy scandals and likely not that much done about them, though open stuff will probably be more usable and better by then.
gollark: I doubt it.
gollark: It already has a lot. Desktop Linux, no.
gollark: I mean, maybe supercomputing facilities will also have test ones and/or some used as accelerators for specific tasks, but it won't be massively commonplace.
